// Description:     Implements watching for file changes in a designated       .
//                  directory (or directories).                                .

// Usage:           1. Add a TDirectoryWatch component to your form.           .
//                  2. Set its Directory property                              .
//                  3. If you wish to watch its subdirectories too then set    .
//                  the WatchSubDir property to true                           .
//                  4. Assign the OnChange event                               .
//                  5. Set Active to true                                      .
