Howde:
------
Thanks for getting your hands on my program.  Informant is a program I'v been
sitting on for a few months now.  It seems that once I sit down to finish it 
I get a new idea in my head, and off I go on to a new project.  A year and a 
half ago I released a program called System Graph version 4.0 and got 
wonderful feedback.  Today, I got a mail message from a user of System Graph 
version 4.0 asking me if I had a new version.  Instead of just mailing him 
Informant I decided to release it to the public.


About this beta 1 release:
--------------------------
This program is beta because:
  o  It's not feature complete
  o  It's slow on some computers
I released it because I want to know if people like it.  I have one more year 
of college to go though and I don't want to spend time finishing a program 
that people don't like.  If you decide you like this program or have any ideas
please let me know!  If I get enough responses I'll finish it and even write 
a help file and install program for it!


Basic things to know:
----------------
1) Hiding caption bar - Select from system menu or double click on window with
   left mouse button.
2) Getting the about dialog box - Select from system menu.
3) Getting the configuration dialog box - Select from system menu or double 
   click on window with right mouse button.
IMPORTANT:
The configuration box saves the position of the Informant window when you 
sellect OK.


Developer info:
---------------
This program was written using Turbo C++ 3.1 and my own class library.
