- Can add/delete popups from the default list! (by popluar demand)
- Added hotkey: CTRL + ALT + C to toggle tray icon

  Prohosting, and Hypermart!!

Important Notes:

I will accept no responsibility whatsoever for any damage caused directly or
indirectly from using this software.

Please report all bugs and problems to ryan@homeonthewww.com, along with
the build number of the application, the basic specifications of your
computer, and major software packages installed (eg. Plus!, Internet
Explorer, Netscape, etc.).  If the bug is something that occurs while
using the program, please describe exactly what happened in as much detail
as you can remember (screen shots are also very often useful).

I would greatly appreciate feedback on the features, user interface and
ease of use, as well as any other comments you would like to make.

It seems that this program has been uploaded to a few sites on the internet.
I have not been responsible for this and it is virtually impossible for me to
try and keep track of these sites.  The only site on the internet guaranteed
to have the latest version of the program is my own web site.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

VB 5 Run-time libraries (Service Pack 3) required:

* MSVBVM50.DLL
* StdOle2.tlb
* OleAut32.dll
* OlePro32.dll
* AsycFilt.dll
* Ctl3d32.dll
* ComCat.dll

If you are missing any files required by the program, they may be downloaded
from my web site.

If you feel a little apprehensive about possible damage to your system that
could be caused by the use of this software, then back up the SYSTEM.DAT and
USER.DAT files before changing anything in case of the unlikely event that
something goes wrong.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troubleshooting:

* Wrong Version of Runtime DLL

    Download msvbvm50.zip  from my web site

* Error loading from DLL.

    Download stdole2.zip from my web site.

* Run-time error 31037, "Error loading from file."

    If you get this error while loading the application, the most likely
    cause is that there is a problem with COMCTL32.OCX.  To remedy this,
    download a new copy of this file from my home page and use REGSVR32.EXE
    to register it (eg. REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMCTL32.OCX) if
    necessary.  It is also possible that you could get this error if you do
    not have enough memory available to run the program.

* Run-time error 367, "Can't load (or register) custom control COMCTL32.OCX."

    Please refer to the installations instructions at the beginning of this
    document for the list of required files, and make sure they are all
    in your Windows\System folder.

* Cannot find MSVCRT.DLL/MSVCIRT.DLL

    MSVCRT.DLL and MSVCIRT.DLL can be sent to you be e-mail if you need them.
