==============================
Netscape adfree version 1.1
==============================

This program is FREEWARE. Spread it and pass it
on to others, its free. :-) 


What does it do?
----------------
The program is meant for users of Netscape Communicator. 
Our small program removes the ad which shows up while
checking your email in Netscape Messenger. Its is
suitable for any Version of Netscape Communicator from
V4.5 or higher. 


Is there anything important to know?
------------------------------------
Please do not run Netscape WHILE using this program,
close all Netscape windows before starting the program.


What Netscape version is suitable for use with this program?
------------------------------------------------------------
Any version from V4.5 up to V4.7x is suitable for this small
patch. The patch wont work in versions lower than V4.5 (since
there was no ad placement at that time). 


What operating systems are supported?
-------------------------------------
Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000 (32 bit operating systems)


Technical details:
------------------
After starting the program your harddisk will be scanner for the
installationpath of Netscape. The next step is some change in a
file called prefs.js which is located in the "users"-directory
of Netscape. The program does check all harddrive directories for
the file (no zip-drives, removeable drives, network drives etc.)
and adds a certain line to this file. Is Netscape has been installed
with several userprofiles or several times on one machine, the
user will see a single message for any files changes. 

Additionally a backup file containing the old data will be 
generated (prefs.js.bak). 



Any questions or comments are more than welcome,
