Michael Fabain DirksTargaImage.pas is a TGraphic descendant for Delphi. Installing it will allow Delphi TImage and TDBImage components to read Targa files just like BMP & WMF files with no coding on your part. It also adds the TGA file type to the Delphi Open/Save Picture dialog boxes. To install this unit, place it in your one of your library folders and make it available to all your Delphi projects by using Component>Install Component from the Delphi menus. NOTE: any Delphi applications using this *must* have FreeImage.dll installed in your application's folder, or somewhere in the path. ----------------------- Tommy Edinburgh, Scotland LeTene@battlefieldeurope.org
