                                   Summary
                                  =========

Protect your downloads, tape backups, and faxes; secure your workstation.
Let your screen saver run when and only when you want it to!
ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus lets you enable, disable, or start your Windows screen
saver with a single mouse-click to a small button on your desktop.  It also
lets you set the screen saver delay in 1 second (rather than 1 minute)
increments.  Finally, it provides quick methods to restart your Windows
session, to safely close Windows and reboot your machine, or to exit to DOS
without the pesky "This will end your Windows session" OK/Cancel query.
Totally configurable; includes hypertext Help.

                                ==============
                                 Installation
                                ==============

1.  Move or copy SSSWITCH.EXE and SSSWITCH.HLP into a new or existing
    directory.
2.  Add the SSSWITCH icon to your Program Manager (File/New/Program Item...).
    "StartUp" is a good program group to add it to.

                          ==========================
                           Why ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus?
                          ==========================

* So programs run correctly:

    Not all software behaves correctly if the screen saver suddenly 
    comes on.  Clicking the green dot Button to red is a simple and 
    convenient way to protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, etc.

* Security:

    If your screen saver is password-protected, a quick click of the "S" 
    Button starts the screen saver immediately and lets you leave your 
    workstation without fear of others' prying.  (Remember that the 
    Windows screen saver will not start otherwise if the active 
    application is a DOS program, whether it's running full screen or 
    windowed!  Click that Button!)

* So you can work:

    Your computer can't tell whether you're reading what's on the 
    screen, attending to another matter, or fast asleep!  It's all 
    "inactivity" as far as the computer is concerned - but it can be an 
    annoying interruption to you.

+ Plus - The "Windows Exit" utilities:

    Many programs never release the memory resources they acquire.  
    The only way to make those resources available again is to quit 
    Windows and then restart it.  Sometimes a whole reboot is required 
    to restore a system to "normal"!  These utilities make that 
    reinitialization safe, simple, fast and keyboard-free.  (By the way, 
    they also let you bypass the "This will end your Windows session" 
    OK/Cancel query.)
