Minimum:
o IBM OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 for Windows 1.0
o 386SX
o 4MB total memory
o 1MB free disk space (may change a bit)
o TCP/IP base kit or OS/2 Internet Access Kit
(should work okay with every fix level of the TCP/IP drivers)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
InJoy is a PPP dialer written for the OS/2 operating system.
You can use InJoy to connect yourself to the Internet and additionally
use the bunch of features to tailer InJoy to match your requirements.
InJoy has been produced in order to fulfil the need for a
low resource, high performance, high stability and multi-featured
dialer.
InJoy is *NOT* an extension to the existing PPP.EXE found in
the OS/2 IAK (Internet Access Kit), but instead a completely
new PPP dialer that uses the IBM TCP/IP stack for transport.
This means that you will have some new functionality, but you
can still use your existing TCP/IP applications as the TCP/IP
stack looks the same.
I N S T A L L A T I O N
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You download InJoy as a zip file and installation is currently
done by unzipping the zip into a directory of your choice.
This could be done in the following way, assuming you would like
to put InJoy into a directory named InJoy and the in-joy0?.zip
file is placed in your root directory:
md \injoy<Enter>
cd \injoy<Enter>
unzip \in-joy0?.zip<Enter>
in-joy<Enter>
InJoy has no requirements regarding directory names, but as InJoy
creates both data files and temporary files, you should make sure
to have the working directory set correctly.
If you are updating an old version of InJOY (0.06 or higher), then
it is okay to install the new version on top of the old one and
that way continue to use your existing data files.
I N J O Y F E A T U R E L I S T
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

o Tracing capabilities, including line monitor, etc.
o Adjustable priority
o Redial
o Calculate and monitor CPS rate (using both graph and digits)
o Timeout warnings
o Timeout function (drop line after x minutes of line inactivity)
o Timer function (drop line after x minutes even if line activity)
o Several options for improving performance
o Graceful logoff in case host does not understand carrier drop
o Monitoring your connect speed and connection time
o Possile to copy your host definitions
o Tunes at connect/disconnect/timer warning/timeout warning
o NULL modem support
o Allows for changing parity within scripts (great for CompuServe)
o Hiding password and userid from scripts using the [$PASSWORD]
and [$USERID] variables.
o Commercials/announcements from the IJ (InJoy:) server!

F U T U R E P L A N S
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My plans with InJoy is to make it even more functional by adding
the following features:
- Dial On Demand
- IP masquerading
- SLIP support
- Autorunning modules at disconnect
- Phone number list
- Wav-file support (sound)
- Presentation Manager version
- TCPOS2.INI file support (migrate your existing hosts)
- Periodic dialing
- PPP server (don't know how many ports I will offer)
- SLIP server (don't know how many ports I will offer)
- Keeping an eye on POP servers and HTML pages on the net
- Automatically downloading and installing new InJoy versions
- Dedicated ISDN support via CAPI
- Your idea goes here :-)
Impossible for me to say how much of the above I will make, but
I think I have already come some way.
Now is a good time to look at register.txt :-)
K I L L J O Y
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Killjoy.exe is a small utility program that will allow you to
kill InJoy from the command line.
Killjoy.exe can be run without parameters, which will cause
InJoy to die instantly (and thereby, hopefully drop the possible
modem connection)
or
It can be run with the '-' parameter that makes it kill InJoy as
soon as a possible connection is gone.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Relase 0.09
- Fixed a gigantic bug regarding ACCM handling..
ACCM specifies a table of characters that must
be escaped. If the table was zeroed, I optimized
by not escaping anything and using my quick memory
copy functions. However, two bytes must always be
escaped and I had just temporarely forgot about that!
- Introduced the General Setup section in InJoy that allows
you to specify confirmation setup and use of about box!
- Fixed minor bugs regarding screen lib... Sometimes the
connected box would show through the other screens and
that has has been partly fixed.
There is still a know problem if you invoke a some screen
dialogs while negotiating, so DONT!!
- Updated documentation with the new stuff + added docs
for changing parity within scripts.
- When auto selecting a host either from command line
or from via the auto connect flag it is now indicated as
the selected one from the host listbox!
- Auto connecting to a host one way or the other, will now
disable the About box at startup.
Relase 0.08
- InJoy is now shareware and you will find the register info
in register.txt.
- Commercial server/Announcement ticker (remember to enable).
- Did the documentation.
- Added BETA support for PM patrol (PM Patrol 4.2d)!
- You can now switch parity from within the script, making InJoy
the choice for Compuserve login!
- Moved the CPS line to bottom line, just above status line!
- Checbox that allows you to turn off CPS monitors.
This will sa
