Package contents
----------------
The Tray Min Max package contains the following files:

    TMinMax.exe         The executable program. Place a short-cut
                        to this program in your Startup folder.
    Readme.txt          This file.
    File_Id.diz         a BBS description file.


Usage
-----
The function of Tray Min Max is to provide quick access to the
Windows 95(tm) desktop. I have always found it a bother to try
and right-click on an unused portion of the taskbar to perform
the Minimize All windows. When this program is run an icon
will appear in the taskbar tray. Initially, an icon similiar to
the minimize button found on a window caption. When clicked, all
open windows will be minimized and the icon will change to the
tray icon will change to the restore/maximize icon. You can also
specify a hotkey to use such as the default Ctrl+Space. To change
the hotkey, right-click on the icon and choose properties. Select
the hotkey control and press the hotkey of your choice. Note that
the Ctrl+Space hotkey cannot be specified. To get around this
check the Ctrl+Space checkbox and the software will force Windows
to allow that hotkey. This hotkey will perform the minimize and
restore operation. To exit the software right-click on the icon
to bring up the context menu. You can choose Shutdown.

The software performs a simple task so the documention is as simple.

History
-------

v1.0        Initial release
v1.1        Fix bug for top level windows having parents. This
            problem occurs with Visual Basic programs and the
            Delphi 2.0 environment.
            Switched logic to have the taskbar perform the min/max
            operations. This is only a partial implementation
            since I was unable to determine when the same actions
            are performed by right clicking on the taskbar.
v2.0        Support added for hotkeys. Default hotkey is Ctrl+Space.
            Thanks to Peter Aschbacher for the suggestion.
