Connection Manager v1.1
Copyright 1996, Jerome Tremblay
------------------

Welcome to Connection Manager. This program will disconnect from an Internet
Service Provider after a specified laps of time. This program is FREEWARE.
You can distribute it freely. With an exception, if you want to distribute it
along with one of your program, or on a CD, I want to be notified of it. I
can be reached at jerome@infose.com.

You can always get the latest version at:

               http://www.infose.com/jerome/software.html

Installation...
-------------------
  1. Unzip the program in a directory of your choice.

  2. Run.

How to use it...
-------------------
1. Connect to your Internet Service Provider using Dial-up Networking
   *** Dial-up Networking is REQUIRED for this software to work ***

2. Start the program. (Yeah...)

3. Start your Downloads using any software.

4. Enable one of the 2 hangup methods.

   o Time-based hangup.
     Press the Start! button and select the delay before hangup.
 
   o Window-based hangup.
     Press the Add/Remove Window button. You will have a menu with all the
     current visible windows. Select one in the left column, and press the
     Add to list >> button. Connection Manager will not wait for this window
     to close before hanging up. If you are not sure which window name you
     have selected, press the Bring To Top button, this will show the
     currently selected window. Close the menu.
     Then, select the time interval between checks. Connection Manager will
     scan the system to see if all those windows are still opened and will
     hangup when all of em will be closed. Shorter delay will hangup faster
     but may hurt overall system performance. 10 sec seems to be a right
     delay.

   o Start the program using /h to hangup immediately and exit.

5. Hide Connection Manager by clicking on the Hide button. If you need to
   change parameters, click on the icon in the taskbar.

Notes:

  This software works great with Netscape or any program creating a 'download
  window'. When using one of those, use the Window-based method.

Special Thanks
-------------------
Thanks to Daniel Polistchuck for his great TRAS component,without it I
would have searched much longer for a way to hangup. I also thank my brother,
who designed the nice icon, without him, it would be soo ugly that I prefer
not to think about it. Here is the payment he asked for his work, I must
write "Worship Virgil" somewhere. Now it's done. And I thank *YOU* for
reading all this.
