 o Several MB for downloaded files.
 o Access to a standard news server (MSN is not supported)


3. Installing
   ----------
If you're upgrading from a previous version, install the new
version without uninstalling the old one so it preserves your
search strings and settings.

If the program files came in a ZIP file, extract the files to a
temporary folder using an unzip utility, then run setup.exe.

WinZip will handle this for you automatically.  Click on the 'Open'
button and double click on the ZIP file.  WinZip will display a list
of the files in the archive.  Double click on SETUP.EXE.

Follow the instructions and click Next for each window.

After you click Finish, Binary Boy will be available from the
Start | Programs menu.

The first time you run the program, Binary Boy will request your news
server address and dialing information.  Check your internet service
provider's documentation for the news server address you should use.

If you don't have access to a news server, you can find one by clicking
on 'Find News Servers' under the Help menu.  When you find a server, go
back to the Settings and paste or type the address. The address will
usually look similar to 'news.myisp.com'.  Don't include any extra
numbers or quotes.

To enable unattended dialing, go to the settings and click on the
'Dialer' tab.  Click on 'Use Phonebook Entry' and select the entry to
dial, then click OK.

Click on 'Help Contents' in the Help menu for more information.


4. Uninstalling
   ------------
Uninstall by using the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel.
Click the Start button, Settings, then Control Panel. Double-click
the 'Add/Remove Programs' icon.  Click 'Binary Boy Attachment
Finder' in the list, then click the 'Add/Remove' button.
