----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Please consult the DynamIP web site for any questions/problems
      you might have BEFORE you send me e-mail:

             http://www.bigfoot.com/~DynamIP/
       or    http://members.xoom.com/DynamIP/

      Please note that this version of DynamIP needs the VB6 runtime
      library (the file MSVBVM60.DLL) which is not included in the
      DynamIP distribution. If you need the file you will find links at
         http://www.bigfoot.com/~DynamIP/DIPdownloadfinal.htm

      Thanks for trying DynamIP,
      Chris / DynamIP@bigfoot.com

ANNOUNCEMENT:
      We are beta testing DIPS, the [D]ynamic [IP] [S]erver. DIPS is
      a new free service that might be quite useful to some of you.
      We have added a lot of new features, including URL forwarding.
      DIPS is especially useful if you want to run your own WEBcam site.
      Check it out at
             http://postmodem.com/dips-admin/

--------------------------------------------------------------------
  DynamIP v3.50 comes with the new VB6 (SP2) controls (included in
  VB6 ServicePack 2). Installation of this new version of DynamIP
  may update your older controls! This could cause some of your other
  installed programs to malfunction or not to start at all, especially
  if they rely on a particular version of a control/library. For a list
  of controls that come with DynamIP please visit
      http://www.bigfoot.com/~DynamIP/DIPrequirementsFiles.htm
  You may want to backup your old controls BEFORE you install DynamIP
  so that you can reinstall them if you decide that you don't want to
  keep DynamIP on your system (note that uninstalling DynamIP will NOT
  reinstall your previous controls automatically).
