- This software is something-ware. I don't care who has a copy, so long as the
- code is not altered when distributed. I retain *all* copyright on the code
- (however crap it may be). The only exeption to this is Skyfall PD, who charge
- too much for supposed 'overheads', and so may not use nor distribute this
- program.
-
- Instructions
- ------------
-
- * Double-click on the Coster2 icon
- * Click on the icon that appears on the icon-bar
- * Pass out at the sight of your debt
-
- Clever huh?
- -----------
- If (like me) you don't pay the overall phone bill, but have to pay for the
- modem phone bill, or sensibly have a pot that you put money in for modem
- phone use, you can clear part or all of your debt, *and retain the log file*.
- Wow! Simply (the instructions are always 'simply do this' or 'just click'
- aren't they?) alter the file !Coster2.resources.paid to the amount you paid
- in pence. This way that amount will be subtracted from the total in the log
- file, but you don't have to delete the log file.
- You can delete the log file if you want to dispose of the evidence though, by
- clicking on "reset logfile" in the main window.

- History
- -------
- This program is a multitasking version of Coster, which I wrote ages ago. It
- should work with Slipdial (but only the latest version). It assumes that you
- don't have shares in BT (ie. you log on at cheap-rate and to a local number).
-
- Coster - The first non-multitasking version
- Coster2 - The first multitasking version
- 1.50 - First public release

- Disclaimer
- ----------
- The program works on my RPC600 w/5MB, but I havn't tested it on any other
- computer or RISC OS2
- You use the program *entierely* at your own risk, and if aliens invade, wipe
- your hard drive and corrupt your backups *it ain't my fault* :-)
