(About the author)
 
     Basic pathfinding for use in rpgs or pacman among other things. It uses binary heaps. The example and pathfinding is about 450 lines of code. Small example included. This code was originally written by Patrick Lester in another language. I got his permission to port it to Delphi.

  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

Thanks for porting it over to Delphi (haven't looked at the port, but I'm sure it is good).
