+	Put the file fannfloat.dll in your PATH. (If you want to use the fixed version you should define FIXEDFANN on fann.pas). 
+	Include fann.pas in your project and in your unit uses clause, and have fun!

+TFannNetwork is a Delphi component that encapsulates the Fann Library.
+You do not have to install TFannNetwork to use Fann on Delphi, 
+but it will make the library more Delphi friendly.
+Currently it has only a small subset of all the library functions, but I 
+hope that will change in the near future.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+To install TFannNetwork you should follow all the previous steps and copy the FannNetwork.pas and Fann.dcr to your Delphi Library PATH. Choose Component/Install Component. In the Unit file name field, click on Browse and point to the fannnetwork.pas file. By default Delphi will install in the Borland User Components package, it might be changed using Package file name field or Into new package page. Click on Ok. A confirmation dialog will be shown asking if you want to build the package. [...]

+If you are getting in trouble to use your own compiled FANN DLL with Delphi that might be
+because of the C++ naming mangle that changes between C++ compilers. 
+You will need to make a TDUMP on your dll and changes all the name directives on fann.pas to 
+the correct function names on your dll.
