+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

 SchizoSigz! is an e-mail signature generator for any e-mail program
 that utilizes ASCII based signature files. SchizoSigz! takes a header
 file, footer file, and a file filled with quotes, taglines, or
 whatever, and generates an e-mail signature file at a specified time
 interval. SchizoSigz! runs from the Windows 95/NT task bar and creates
 the signature file as necessary. SchizoSigz! is FREE.

    + What Is New In SchizoSigz! v1.5                                  +
    +------------------------------------------------------------------+

      - Added the ability to create HTML signature files. For those
        clients that support it, HTML signature files are an option.
      - Added the ability to copy the current signature file to the
        clipboard so that it may be pasted into documents.
      - Squashed that shutdown bug!.  SchizoSigz! will now close
        properly when a Win 95/NT 4.0 shutdown is requested.
      - Added some other minor code adjustments to speed up operations.

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    + Known Issues                                                     +
    +------------------------------------------------------------------+

      - None at this time.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ SchizoSigz! Requirements                                             +
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  - Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
  - 32 bit TCP/IP stack.
  - E-Mail Application that utilizes text based signature files.
  - IP address in order for the Finger Host to work.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ SchizoSigz! Compatibility                                            +
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  SchizoSigz! will work with any e-mail application that supports text
  based signature files.  SchizoSigz! has direct support for some
  e-mail application.  Direct support allows manipulation of the e-mail
  application's signature file and signature file configuration.  The
  following e-mail applications are directly supported:

    - Eudora Pro and Eudora Lite 3.xx
    - MS Internet Mail
    - MS Outlook Express
    - Netscape Communicator 4.xx
    - Netscape Navigator 3.xx

  Since SchizoSigz! works with text based signature files, the following
  e-mail applications' signature files may be pointed at the generated
  signature files that SchizoSigz! produces:

    - MS Internet News
    - Forte Agent
    - Pegasus Mail
    - MS Outlook (The NEW MS Exchange client that comes with Office 97)
    - Probably more than listed

  If your e-mail application is not listed, that does not necessarily
  mean it is not capable of working with SchizoSigz!.  Check the
  documentation that came with your e-mail application and ensure that
  it has text based signature FILES.  Some e-mail applications use a
  method built into the configuration files and some use text files.
  If the application supports text files, then SchizoSigz! will work.
  Read your documentation and find out, or just ask Schizofrenia!.

  configure it the way that you would like it to work.  All of the
  configuration is done by way of the SchizoSigz! Wizard.  This easy,
  step by step, procedural driven interface makes configuration of
  SchizoSigz! a breeze.

  Some things to remember throughout the SchizoSigz! Wizard:

    1. 'Next' Button; Moves to the next screen in the configuration
       process.
    2. 'Back' Button; Moves to the previous screen so that changes
       can be made, if necessary.

      When you first start SchizoSigzWizard! you are at the Welcome
      page which offers a choice of loading the Profile Editor,
      Sending SchizoSigz! To Someone, or continuing with the
      configuration process.  If this is your first time configuring
      SchizoSigz! or if you just use the default profile, like most
      users, then depress the Next button to continue.

      If you selected a client listed then you will be on this screen.
      Carefully review the path and filename of the program located.
      Also, ensure that the signature file located is the one that is

      file located is not the one that you would like to utilize then
      depress the Change Signature File button and locate it yourself.
      If your e-mail client supports it, you may be able to choose to

      Locate your e-mail application by typing the full path and

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    + How To Generate Signatures                                       +

      You are now presented with a preview of what your signature file
      would look like based on the current Header, Footer, SchizoSig!,
      and options.  If you like the chosen SchizoSig! so much, place a
      check in the check box so that SchizoSigz! always utilizes that
      SchizoSig! when generating signature files.

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    + Congratulations                                                  +

+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ Miscellaneous                                                        +
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

  The use and configuration of SchizoSigz! is pretty easy and about as
  straightforward as possible.  There is NO similiar program that is
  easier to configure!  While SchizoSigz! is a signature generator,
  there are some other items of interest that are probably not the
  first things remembered when using the program.  They are:

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    + Send SchizoSigz!                                                 +
    +------------------------------------------------------------------+

      Depress the Send SchizoSigz! button if you would like to send
      SchizoSigz! to a friend, enemy, or whoever.  An e-mail message
      with a URL to download the program is sent to the recipient,
      rather than the whole program.  Nevertheless, they are offered
      a chance to download the program.

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    + Profiles                                                         +
    +------------------------------------------------------------------+

      If more than one person, or personality, would like to utilize
      SchizoSigz!, then jump to the Profile Editor and add a new
      Profile.  All profiles are independent of each other, and may run
      seperately, at the same time, in the System Tray.  This means
      that if you have 2 profiles, and want to use them at the same
      time, then there should be 2 copies of SchizoSigz! running at
      once.  You MUST launch SchizoSigz! with a command-line option
      of the name of the profile to load if you want SchizoSigz! to
      use anything but the default profile.

    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
    + About SchizoSigz!                                                +

      address as well as your machine (host) name.

      SchizoSigz!. There were some problems being caused when attempting
      to utilize Notepad.

      friend that you think should have SchizoSigz!, then send it to them!

      of SchizoSigz! with your existing e-mail client. The clients
      supported are Eudora 3.xx, MS Outlook Express, MS Internet Mail
      and News, Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator. This
      feature will automatically determine what your previously
      configured signature file is, and use that for generating
      signature files. It will also locate the copy of the selected e-mail
      client. This was done in response to problems people were having in

      - Added a new import option, entitled 'Import SchizoSigz! Format'.
        What this does it import an already formatted SchizoSigz! file into
        your existing SchizoSigz! file. This option is to be utilized in
        conjunction with downloading SchizoSigz! Signature files from
        Schizofrenia!.

      - Changed the automatic import option and renamed it to 'Import
        Single Line Format'. What this does is import a file with a new
        tagline on a seperate line. So, if a file has 100 lines, then there
        would be 100 taglines imported. This is to be utilized in
        conjunction with downloading of various tagline files from the
        Internet that are not already formatted for use with SchizoSigz!.

      - Added a word wrap feature for the 'SchizoSigz!' tab. This does not

      options. There is an unlimited number of profiles that may be added.
