1. ABOUT
========
  DosTray is a simple program that allows you to open a DOS command
 interpretter simply and easily.
  It is small, fast, and simple to use.
  
2. USAGE
========
  Just type "dostray" at a dos prompt to load the program, then its
 icon will appear at the side of your taskbar.
  To operate the program, and open a "DOS box" simply double click 
 upon its icon, if you click upon it with the right button a menu
 with options will appear, allowing you to see the about box, and
 to close the program.

3. WHY IT WAS WRITTEN
=====================
  This program was written to enable me to open a dos shell quickly.
 I used to have a shortcut pointing to the dos prompt on my desktop,
 but that was often covered by a window, rather than have to move all
 my windows around - or Navigate the start menu I decided I wanted 
 some other way to open a program.
  There are a lot of "quickstart" programs around, but having to make
 a choice often spoils the usefullness of them.  Why use a big system
 with the option of opening 10+ programs when you wanted to open
 programs _quickly_?


4. ABOUT
========
  Window was written, and compiled under Visual C+ v4.  Its source code
 is available, simply e-mail me, and I'll send you a copy.
  If you like the program please send me an email...  After all I'm not
 asking for money, and I currently have a job!
