Welcome to HATE! for Windows!
=============================

Overview
--------

This program is designed for stress relief, at work or at home,
All you need is a sound card and to make sure that your boss isn't listening!
This program is not for the easily offended.


Installation
------------

I have not written a 'point and click' Setup program as they are pointless
If you cannot install this, find a tame techie to do it for you.

* NOTE * VBRUN300.DLL is required but not included *
Most people already have this in their Windows System dir.  You can probably
get a copy from ftp.microsoft.com

It is recommended you create C:\HATE! with all of the files except for
CMDIALOG.VBX and THREED.VBX.  These should be placed in your Windows System
directory.  IF these files already exist there then leave it and it should
run ok.

The first time you run HATE! you will be presented with an error stating that
HATE!.INI does not exist, ignore this and just select the files. 


Use
---

To play the sound files, simply click on Yes.
To stop a continuous playback, click on Stop.

To select which files to play, click on Custom, then Add.  You can multiselect
using SHIFT.
You can remove items by clicking on them and clicking on Remove.
You can test the file by clicking on Test, or Double clicking in the list.
Cancel cancels changes made, OK saves them.

For the 'About' box, click on the Hate! icon on the main screen.
To get out of the 'About' box, click anywhere on the box.  Also, the three 
icons give additional information.


Hints and Tips
--------------

* To 'clean up' your directory listings, you may wish to rename the sample
WAV files to something less descriptive.  As long as you set these up right
in the Custom box, this will work fine.

* HATE! is very flexible. Instead of playing sounds of hate, HATE! could also
play soothing sounds, inspirational sounds, confidence boosters, etc etc.
The only limit is that they must be readable by Windows. (Use the 'Test' btn)

Registration
------------

I am so nice that this is the full version, completely free!
However, if you 
a) really like it
b) Use it in a commercial setting
c) want to put it on a coverdisk, sw/pd collection, ftp site, www page etc.
I would like it if you could e-mail just to say so.
