1. Introduction


OnGuard is a library to create demo versions of your Embarcadero Delphi and
C++Builder applications. Create demo versions that are time-limited,
feature-limited, limited to a certain number of uses, or limited to a
certain number of concurrent network users.

This is a source-only release of TurboPack OnGuard. It includes
designtime and runtime packages for Delphi and C++Builder.
It supports Win32 and Win64.

To install TurboPack OnGuard into your IDE, take the following steps:

     (e.g. c:\onguard\source\hpp\$(platform)\$(configuration))

you should add the following lines to your cpp file:

#ifdef _WIN64
#pragma comment(lib, "%packagename%")
#endif
