****************************************************************************

The Abuser is a handy little insult generator. When it is run it places an 
icon in your Win 95 or NT 4.0 system tray that can be clicked
for instant insult production! Right-click the icon for cool options...

THINGS TO KNOW
***************
@ Right-click on the icon and you will get a menu! Stop sending me email asking
how to close the program. Stop sending me email complaining that there are no 
options. Right-click and all will be revealed. "Right-click" means use the mouse
and point at the Abuser icon (in the system tray) and then press and release the
mouse-button on the right.

@ The email functionality won't be very functional unless you have an internet 
mail server.

@ Don't use a password (in the locking mechanism) that has the letters 'y' + 'g' 
next to each other.  You will be screwed if you do. I don't know why...

@ This program is offensive and not meant for children or others who might take
offense.  If you do take offense or your children use it and then you take
offense then delete it. Andrew Vessey and shamus.netmedia are not
responsible for how this program is used.

INSTALLATION
*************
Simply extract everything to any directory and it will be installed.

REGISTERING
************
The Abuser can be registered for a mere $3.00! That's a lot of insults for 
not a lot of money!
