The TColossalGrid is a VCL grid control that is unlike any of the standard
VCL grid controls. Features include:

o It can work in a bound or unbound mode
o The grid supports multiple zones with different properties
o Multi-line records
o Column headers and footer

Documentation is in the file GRIDDOCS.RTF.

There are references to WIN16 and WIN32 in the source code. These mark spots
of known incompatability. The grid has not been tested on Win-16.

The grid has a property editor that is rather elaborate. Playing with the
property editor is the best way to learn about the features of the grid.

To make modifications to the grid source code you need to install the
components that are registered in the file ColSpeci.PAS. This file
registers modified components that are used in the grid's component
editor.

To use the grid install the file ColCtrls.PAS.

Due to the size of the control and since Delphi does not allow modules
to be split across separate source files the are a large number of include
files.
