SystemInfo Component 
=================================

Description
-----------
This component allows the programmer to get system info such as:
- computer name 
- current logged in username 
- windows dir
- system dir
- windows registered owner
- windows registered company
- windows version
- platform name

Properties
----------
The correct property names are:
- ComputerName 
- UserName     
- WinDir 	  
- SysDir 	  
- RegOwner     
- RegCompany 
- OSVersion 
- OSPlatform

All properties are of type "string".

All properties are filled when the component is created, 
and are available, read only, after that by using this syntax:
<system info component instance name>.<property name>  

eg
  sysinfo:= TSystemInfo.Create(frmAbout);
  showmessage(sysinfo.UserName);

Distribution
------------
This component is released into the public domain as freeware. Change 
it all you want.  If you improve the component I would appreciate 
an email with the improved source.

Disclaimer
----------
As this component is freeware, I accept no liability for it's fitness 
for purpose, or for any actions resulting from it's use.  You have 
the source code, so check it before using it.

Acknowledgements
----------------
Most of this component was created from code I found on the Delphi 
Super Page by Riccardo Pareschi of RicoSoft (rico@mbox.4net.it).

Installing
----------
In Delphi 3, choose Install Component from the Component menu.
In the dialog that comes up, locate the SystemInfo.pas file, 
and then make sure the path to this file is on your Delphi search path.
