			   CPU Usage Meter
			     Version 1.2

		   Copyright 1990 by James Seidman

This program is, as the name implies, a utility to keep track of how much
of your CPU's time is being used while you're in Windows.  When you run it,
you will see an icon appear at the bottom of your screen.  It'll show you
a number representing the percentage of CPU time being utilized.  This
number will be updated approximately every 3 seconds.

If you want to run the CPU Usage meter automatically every time you run
Windows, edit the file WIN.INI in your Windows directory.  Under the
[Windows] section, look for a line which starts "load=".  If there isn't
one, make one.  Add "cpuuse.exe" to the end of the line.

If you want to have the CPU Usage meter automatically keep itself in front
of any other windows, select "Keep in front" from the system menu.  When a
checkmark appears next to that option, it means that it is enabled.  The
setting will be stored and recalled the next time you run the program.

There are a few annoying little things about the CPU Usage Meter.  When you
first run it, it'll take about 6 seconds of time to determine how fast your
CPU is so that it can give you an accurate reading.  The next one is due to
the way Windows handles menus.  When you click on the icon to get the menu,
the CPU Usage Meter will no longer be able to measure usage properly until
the menu goes away.  During this time "??" will appear in the icon.
Lastly, at particular combinations of screen resolutions, icon sizes, and
font sizes, the text will not fit properly inside the icon space.  (None
of these problems cause any harm, they're just annoying.)
