Applications
============

TrimTXT makes it easier to read e-mails and to transfer texts from
e-mails to a word processor. It removes all the extra CR-LF (NewLines)
and e-mail answer pre-strings like ">" inside the paragraphs, and
converts codes like "=FC" in e-mails. It can also convert HTML or
formatted text into unformatted text. The latter is e.g. useful when
moving texts from a text editor to a DTP programme. Input/output may
be the clipboard or file open/save. It can also be controlled by a
macro from e.g. MS Word or WordPerfect.


Installation
============

TrimTXT is written in MS Visual Basic 3.0 and requires VBRUN300.DLL
to be present in the PATH of your PC (for example the c:\windows
directory), or in the directory of TrimTXT. VBRUN300.DLL is available
on the Windows 95 and 95 plus CD-ROMS and may also be downloaded 
free of charge from a large number of WWW and BBS sites world-wide,
e.g. from Microsoft's website on http://www.microsoft.com.

1.  Create a directory for TrimTXT, e.g. c:\TrimTXT.

2.  Move the trimtxtd.zip file to this directory.

3.  Unpack the trimtxtd.zip file.

4.  Make it easily accesible:

     -  Windows 3.x/NT3-: install the TrimTXT.ico icon..
        1.  In the Program Manager, select or create a suitable group.
        2.  Install TrimTXT the usual way, using the build-in icon.

     -  Windows 95+/NT4+: 
        1.  Install a shortcut in a suitable group or on your desktop. The
            easiest way is to place your pointer where you want the icon.
        2.  Click right mouse button, and select New and then Shortcut. Then
            follow the instructions.
