6. Delphi 1.01 Patch
======================

Delphi 1.0 requires the Delphi 1.01 patch. To determine if you
need the patch, you must check which Delphi version you are
using.

To check the Delphi version, check the file time stamp.
Delphi Version 1.0 files display a 2/15/95 8:00am time stamp.

The 1.01 patch is included on the RAD Pack CD-ROM in
/PATCH. The /DELPHI subdirectory contains the Delphi for Windows patch.
The /DELPHICS subdirectory contains the Delphi Client/Server patch.

The appropriate patch is located in subdirectories according to language
version. If you are a user of either the French or German Delphi
version, make sure you install the appropriate patch.

For information about installing the 1.01 patch, refer to the readme
files located in each subdirectory.

Note: If you inadvertently install the 1.01 patch on Delphi Version 1.01,
PATCH.EXE reports on the areas where the patch has aleardy been applied.
