Castalia transforms the Delphi programming environment into an amazing development platform. Castalia lives on the bleeding edge of IDE technology, giving you cutting edge tools to write better code faster, understand code more accurately, and improve code you've already written.

ZylAppCommunicator is a Delphi & C++Builder component which allows you to communicate between one or more applications which are running on the same computer. Use ZylAppCommunicator if you want to easily communicate between your applications.

ZylBattery is a visual Delphi component that diplays the charging level of the battery in a chart. You can specify different colors for different charging levels and you can indicate it also in text format in percents.

ZylCPUUsage is a visual Delphi & C++Builder component that diplays the usage level of the processor(s) in a chart. This is fully functional in Delphi and C++Builder IDE, but it displays a nag dialog (the licensed version will, of course, not have a nag dialog and will not be limited to the IDE). The package includes demo programs for Delphi and C++Builder and a help file with the description of the component.

ZylTimer is a high resolution, long-term Delphi & C++Builder timer component which provides a higher precision than the standard Delphi / C++ Builder TTimer component. TTimer component which ships with Delphi & C++Builder uses the Windows Message Queue to generate the OnTimer event. Due to this approach it's impossible to get accurate timer intervals smaller than 15 milliseconds. ZylTimer is a thread based timer and due to this architecture provides a higher precision (1-2 milliseconds), which is inevitable in time critical applications. The standard TTimer component uses the SetTimer API function, so the interval is limited to 2147483647 milliseconds (about 25 days). ZylTimer is a thread based timer and the interval could be set even to hundred years if necessary. It is important to understand that the accuracy of timers is limited. Windows is not a real-time operating system (except Windows CE) and it is not reasonable to expect timers to handle exactly very small time intervals.
