+   fpGUI's Visual User Interface Designer
+   ======================================
+
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+fpGUI Designer is a port of a product called VFD written by Nagy Viktor in 2003.
+I ported VFD to fpGUI because I thought it would add a lot to the framework as 
+a whole.  I could see it has lots of potential and could easily be extended to 
+become a great tool. What I immediately liked about VFD is that it used the 
+same source unit and writes actual code describing the UI like I would have 
+done manually. This departs from the GUI designers used in Lazarus or Delphi 
+where they save the UI code to external files (*.lfm or *.dfm respectively).
+
+
+Features
+========
+
+* It uses the same source unit where your normal code lives. No external GUI 
+  files.
+
+* It can handle "unknown" or "custom" components and properties. Whenever the 
+  designer finds a component it doesn't natively know it paints a green 
+  rectangle in it's place. Whenever it finds properties it doesn't know it 
+  adds them "as is" to the Unknown section memo in the Properties window. Any 
+  code in the Unknown memo will be written back to the source unit "as is".
+
+* The designer can handle more that one form in a unit.
+
+* When creating a new form, that form can be merged into an existing unit or
+  the designer will create a new unit for it.
+
+* The designer uses comment markers in the code to define what parts it will
+  maintain. Existing code (Forms) can be easily amended (manually by the 
+  programmer) so that the designer can start managing it. No need to redesign
+  Forms from scratch.
