The Proxomitron - Universal Web Filter

(C)1999 Scott R. Lemmon

The Proxomitron features a powerful HTML text matching engine able
to dynamically alter web pages on the fly. Works with any browser
to eliminate or alter unwanted web content like pop-up windows,
alerts, animated GIFs, auto-play music, sounds, dynamic HTML, and
more. Replace background images with your own, rewrite JavaScripts,
even filter normally hidden HTTP header messages. Over 50 filters
are included, and equally powerful filters can be created. Gain
control over pages you view by selectively replace most any HTML
text or tags. Even customize pages you visit often.

Beat of all, it's free! No nags, time limits, or disabled features.
You can use the program as often as you like for as long as you like.

It is in fact "ShonenWare" a concept dedicated to the support of
the one-and-only world famous female power-trio from Osaka Japan:
Shonen Knife -  kawaii creators of the very best music in the world!

To support the program you can optionally "register" it by
purchasing any album by Shonen Knife and emailing me your
impressions

(see help file for details)


SYSTEM REQUIERMENTS

The Proxomitron is a Win32 program designed to run under
Windows 95/98 (although it may very well run on some versions
of NT also).  

INSTALATION

This archive file  of the Proxomitron is distributed 
using the "Install Shield" installer/uninstaller program.
There is also a plain version without the installer -
the program itself is the same in either case.

To install simply run "setup.exe" a start menu group will
be created and a icon will also be placed on the desktop
(just delete it afterwards if you don't want it).

To use the Proxomitron with your web browser you'll
also have to set your browser's proxy option. Locate
the settings for "HTTP Proxy" and enter a hostname of
"localhost" and a port number of "8080". You don't need 
to change any other proxy entries (like FTP or gopher).
Also make sure any "use proxy" checkbox your browser 
may have is enabled.

To return your browser to normal operation clear its
HTTP proxy settings and/or deselect the "use proxy" checkbox.

* For more detailed instructions, including step by step
  instructions for Netscape and Internet Explorer, be sure
  to read "Installation and Eradication" in the Proxomitron's
  help file.
