Compiler: TaskTale has been written in Delphi 5 Pro. Other versions of Delphi should work as well, but have not been tested.

Structure: TaskTale is a straight forward Delphi Windows application with one project file 'TaskTale.dpr', one DFM file for each form and one PAS file for each form and unit.

Some library files are used which can be compiled directly. Only one component has to be installed prior to compile, the component HttpProt.pas for web access. All required files are in the 'components' sub directory.

Localisation: TaskTale uses GNU gettext markers to indicate text which needs translating. String constants in the code are marked with the _ macro. For example, _("This text will be translated")

For Delphi 5 a special version of gettext is required.

I have used POEdit for Translation, but any ASCII editor would do.
