 ===========
 Description
 ===========

 IfOnline is a program to prevent the opening of  your	browser  when  you  are
 offline.  If  the  browser is already open, or you are online, IfOnline has no
 effect.


 ============
 Requirements
 ============

 32-bit Windows (developed on Win98SE, but should work on Win95/NT/2000/ME/XP).


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

 Unzip it somewhere and run "IfOnline -i". You will also need to run that again
 if you change browsers. You may need to turn off your browser's default check.

 To remove it, run "IfOnline -u" and delete the  directory  you  (should  have)
 created above.


 =====
 Usage
 =====

 When you are offline and click on an URL,  instead of the browser opening, you
 will be shown a dialog box displaying the URL and three buttons:

 Open:	 open the URL in the browser;
 Copy:	 copy the URL to the clipboard;
 Cancel: do nothing.

 If you are on online, or the browser is already open, IfOnline will  open  the
 URL as usual.

 Currently it only works with http, not https or any of the other protocols. It
 will  also  not  accept  multiple URLs (ie. it expects the dialog to be closed
 before trying to open another URL).

 ============
 Distribution
 ============

 The original zipfile can be freely distributed, by any means. However, I would
 like  to  be  informed  if  it  is  placed  on a CD-ROM (other than an archive
 compilation).	Modified versions may be distributed, as long as  the  original
 zipfile is included (I would prefer to be contacted).
