   1. ABOUT STOCKTRAY
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

   This is the Version 1.x of the multi purpose info monitor StockTray.  

   StockTray is a program that obtains stock quotes from free sources 
   on the internet and displays them in a compact form on your desktop.  
   You can use it to monitor stock prices that you are interested in 
   and even monitor the value of your portfolio in real time.

   The program automatically switches between English and German 
   language, depending on your system's settings (under Windows 95
   this is the same language as Windows, under Windows NT it is the
   Regional setting in the Control Panel).

   The program can be tested for 30 days.  During that time you have
   to press an OK button every hour.  After that time it must be either
   purchased or deleted.  Order and purchase informations can be found
   in the help menu and in the separate order application.
