================================================================
I. About EasyFetcher.

  EasyFetcher 1.0 is a file-retrieving utility for the Internet
to be used with Windows 95/NT 4.0 or later. No more waiting for
a 3 MB browser to start up just to get a file from the Internet.
If you know the exact URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the 
document (both HTTP and FTP servers are supported), just type
it in and hit Enter. EasyFetcher will automatically connect to
the server using the appropriate protocol, while showing you at
a glance what it's doing, including the following information
during the download: the size of the file (great majority of the
time; if server uses non-standard return codes this info is not
available), bytes transferred, retrieval rate (in bytes per 
second) and estimated time left. The option of opening the file
automatically after the transfer is also available. Be sure to 
read the 'EZUse.txt' file for more information on usage.
The program was written in Visual C++ 4.2 and does not require
any support files besides the usual Windows system files, and 
of course the 'Wsock32.dll' file (either supplied by your ISP -
Internet Service Provider, or installed by Windows). Being a
32-bit program, it does require either Windows 95 or Windows NT
4.0 or later and will not run on any earlier version of Windows.
