-------- What is BrowserSizer? ---------------------------------------

BrowserSizer is a low-fat, NOT in-your-face tool to help web
developers check to see how their web pages look on screen resolutions
of 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and WebTV. It controls Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator from an un-obtrusive, sit in your tray,
application that provides a interface to resize either browser to the
standard screen resolutions. Isn't it annoying to change your
development machine's resolution just to test for people who haven't
figured out that they can change THEIR screen resolution?

Major Features:
 - Controls the window size of Internet Explorer (3,4) AND Netscape
    Navigator (2,3,4).
 - Provides accurate sizing of browser as would be when viewed
    full-screen at selected resolutions.
 - Provides options to account for size with Microsoft Win95/NT4
    TaskBar and Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar.
 - Provides the ability to control browsers while BrowserSizer is
    minimized in the system tray.
 - Quick hide/show to/from system tray on tray icon double-click.
 - Remembers options, last window position, and selected browser
    on exit.
 - Runs under Microsoft Win95/98 & Microsoft NT4/5.

-------- Special Thanks ----------------------------------------------

Jina - My loving, supporting, patient wife, for which I thank the
    stars everyday that she doesn't divorce me because I spend most of
    my waking hours staring at a few computer screens.  Honey, I
    swear I'll spend quality time with you, just after fix this last
    bug. ;-) Love Ya.

William (Penguin) - The ride to work, every day, just wouldn't be the
    same without him, even though he still contests that HE came up
    with the idea for BrowserSizer back in 1995.  Whatever...  I can't
    imagine that I will ever have the opportunity to work with anyone
    who has more excitement and eagerness to learn than he does.
    Thanks Bill, my #1 beta tester, idea man, and best friend.

Vasile - Hmm, what can I say about this guy?  Definitly the smartest,
    gayest, most friendly.. ist guy I have ever met.  Day-to-day life
    a work would just suck without Vasile on my team.  I hope we stay
    working together for a very, very long time.  Besides, how would I
    ever figure out how to do anything without asking you first?

Racecar - Last but not least, I would like to thank all of the members
    of the band Racecar. <http://www.go-racecar.com/>  If it wasn't
    for them, I wouldn't have any good music to listen too or a social
    life.  Damn, guys.  Get that second album out!  I haven't been
    able to update the web page for almost a year. Thanks Brian,
    Werner, Brian, Chris, and Jina (my wife) for being so cool.


-------- Know Issues & Possible Future Features ----------------------

* Netscape Navigator is required to be running before attempting
    window resize.
* Re-sizing Netscape Navigator in quick succession can occasionally
    cause BrowserSizer to crash..
* Both browsers don't consistently pop to the front of the desktop
    on resize attempt. (Mostly when BrowserSizer is hidden in
    system tray.)
* BrowserSizer does not attach to an open Internet Explorer window
    on resize attempt.
* Netscape Navigator's position can get 'confused' when attempting
    a resize while two windows are open to the same web page or
    with the same title.
* Support for multiple versions of Netscape Navigator concurrently.
* Online check for application updates.
* User Options like:
    - Save current window position permanently
    - Select default browser on BrowserSizer tabs

-------- History -----------------------------------------------------
v1.03a  - Fixed a small bug introduced in v1.03. Distribution filename
            stayed the same.

v1.03   - Fixed (finally) the "intf != 0 failed" error that has been
            plaguing some IE4 users.
        - Replaced InstallShield as the installer software for

            Jordan Russell.  Thanks Jordan!!

v1.02   - Fixed resizing browsers for WebTV mode when sizing from the
            system tray.  Now it does not take into account 95/NT

            not have either of these.

v1.01   - Fixed a problem controlling Internet Explorer v3.0 and
