INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
-----------------------

To install the component you have just downloaded, you need to follow few steps that I'll show you in detail.

1. Copy the hintlb.tar.gz file to your preferred component directory
2. from the terminal window, write
   
[...]$ tar -xzvf hintlb.tar.gz

   and press Enter.
3. a new directory "HintLB" will be created under the current one and all the files compressed will be extracted from the tarball into that directory

4. Open Kylix
5. Select File|Open...
6. into the Open dialog select "Kylix package (*.dpk)" from the File Type listbox
6. from the Open dialog select the CalcEdit dir and then double-click over HintListBox.dpk

If you followed all the above steps, you should now have the Package dialog in front of you. Select "Install" and wait for the compilation. After few seconds a message dialog should appear, confirming that a new component has been installed.
