If you used the freeware version (0.5), read the section at the end of this file.
Important! If you have another version of RichView Package installed, delete it from your hard disk before installing this version! If an older version remains in paths where Delphi/C++Builder searches for units, you will not be able to compile/run your applications with RichView properly. Even if the new version is installed, Delphi/C++Builder may compile projects with the older version (if it was not deleted).
Below are the instructions how to install components, how to run demos, how to integrate help into IDE. (Help file is integrated with more or less completeness, depending on version of Delphi/C++Builder)

You cannot use both the freeware and the shareware version in the same Delphi or C++Builder instance.
If you have the old freeware version, please uninstall it before installing the shareware one (and remove it from directories where Delphi/C++Builder searches for components).
You can try to continue your existing projects with this version of RichView, but read "Compatibility with older versions of RichView" topic of the RichView help before. Please save the original code of these projects (the old freeware version could not be able to load projects saved with the new one, if you decide to return to the old version).
