INTRODUCTION
    
	My Ip Address is a Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 application that
	allows you to determine the IP (Internet Protocol) address of
	your current Internet connection.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

	My Ip Address requires Windows 95 and an active connection to the
	Internet to determine your IP address. 

INSTALLATION

	Copy the My IP Address executable to any folder on your system.
	You may wish to create a shortcut to it on your desktop or in
	your Start menu.

	My Ip Address does not require any runtime files or special
	DLL's. It creates registry entries to store it's settings. See
	the ADVANCED section for more information on the registry
	entries.

USING MY IP ADDRESS

	To run My Ip Address, you must first establish a connection to
	the Internet. Open the My Ip Address software to display your
	current IP address. If you are not connected to your Internet
	Service Provider, My Ip Address will display an error.
	
	My Ip Address will remember it's window settings when you closed.
	
	When the IP address is displayed, you can RIGHT CLICK on the
	title bar to:
			
			Move or Close the window
			Update the IP address
			Copy the IP address to the Windows clipboard
			Display version and contact information for the software
		
	Clicking on the "OK" button will exit My Ip Address.

ADVANCED

	THIS SECTION IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY! BEFORE EDITING THE
	REGISTRY WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU MAKE A BACKUP! IF YOU
	DAMAGE YOUR REGISTRY YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BOOT WINDOWS!
	YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
	
	We do this for a living, and editing the registry makes US
	nervous.

	My Ip Address creates entries in the registry as follows:
	Under the key:
	
			HKEY_CURRENT_USER
					SOFTWARE
						Outlandish Technology, Inc
							MYIPADDRESS
								Settings
							
	We store the position of the application window only. That's it!
