The homepage of graphics32 ( www.g32.org/graphics32/ ) seems offline.
But you can get it at

Short description about the graphics32 components:
You got a TImage32, same as TImage, but much faster, can work with layers,
can do blending, etc, etc...
I got the Delphi DirectX (book+CDR) too, but I never read the book (I had
not the patience to do it) and I never installed the stuff.
I believe the developers are from Germany.
Have a great weekend!
