Animated Bitmap Component version 1.0 Copyright 1997 by A. Meeder

This is a simple component to use bitmaps (as a single file) for animation, you can use it with 
the following versions op Delphi: 1.x, 2.x and 3.x (I developed it with version 3.0)

To use this component you must do the following (after installing the component)
Place this component on a form, choose a bitmap, set cols, rows and active properties

ATTENTION: You don't have to install ThdTimer.pas but it must be available when you use
           Delphi 2.x or 3.x (put it in the same directory). Don't try to use ThdTimer.pas with
           Delphi 1.x, this version of Delphi (Windows 3.x) don't allow threads

           You can install ThreadedTimer and use it (it's not one of my controls, I found it
           in a magazine "Delphi Developer's Journal may 1996, vol 2 no 5). This timer don't use 
           windows resources such as the traditional TTimer does, additionaly you can set the
           priority.
