NetBert v1.1

Requirements:
	- Windows 95
	- Netscape for Windows 95 (any version)
	- A working Internet connection that supports TCP/IP
	  (in other words, you need to be able to browse stuff with Netscape)
	- Boredom

1) Why?
	What does NetBert do, and why does it exist?  I frequently go to the
Dilbert Zone, and read articles, look at sock puppets, and read the daily Dilbert.
I got tired of hitting reload every day (to get the latest Dilbert), or having to
find an open Netscape and then find the bookmark.  So I wrote this program.  Later,
on demand from others, I made the program a little more customizable, so you can pick
your own web pages other than the Dilbert Zone (like Luann or Drabble), and what time
you want the page automatically loaded.

2) What's it do?
	Netbert will bring up the Dilbert Zone every day at around 8 am, reloading
the page if you already have the page up.  If you have Netscape already open, it will
load the Dilbert Zone on your last used Netscape window.  If not, it will find
your Netscape and load it.

3) What do I need to do?
	Simply run it.  It will create a little taskbar icon.  He looks like a
little pale blue N with glasses and a necktie.  He will sit on your desktop, and
do everything for you.  
	If you get impatient, you can right-click on him for a menu.  You can
"Open Now", which will immediately load the Dilbert Zone into Netscape, you can
"Get Time", which tells you the current time, and when your next automatic load of
the Dilbert Zone will occur, you can find out "About NetBert" which will load a
web page about NetBert, or you can choose "Exit" to get rid of NetBert.
	If you are REALLY impatient, you can left click on him, and you will load the
Dilbert Zone right now (just like the "Open Now" option, but now pesky menu first).
	If you frequently turn off your computer or crash Windows 95 (no, that NEVER
happens!), you can put Netbert in your Startup group by moving netbert.exe or a
shortcut into Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

4) That's all it does?
	No.  There is also a "Settings" option on the menu.  This will bring up a
settings window, where you can customize the URL (web page) you want to load and the
hour you want it to automatically load.  If you press the RESET button, your settings
will return to the defaults, which are to load the Dilbert Zone at 8 am.

5) Can I sue you?
	Yes, but please don't.  I don't think I have trampled over anyone's copyrights
by creating a free program that promotes both Netscape and the Dilbert Zone.  I was
bored and lazy when I wrote this, but I don't think I was sponsored by a big evil
corporation who wants to make hordes of money by using the work of other people (I only
say I don't THINK I was because if they brainwashed me, how would -I- know?)

6) Why is the icon so dumb?
	Well, there was a better looking one with Dogbert standing in front of a 
Netscape logo (it was really cool), but that required the permission of United Media
and Netscape.  I contacted Scott Adams but he said, "Sorry, I don't own my stuff."
(okay, not those exact words... don't quote me... see section 5 on "Can I sue you?")
Then, I contacted United Media, but they never wrote back.  I contacted Netscape, and
someone from their support group said it looked neat (told you so), but that they would
have to forward it to their legal department.  No answer from them.  So, I said, "Do I
keep the cool logo and risk getting sued by angry victemized artists and their hordes of
lawyers, or do I make my own dumb logo?"  Hello! Am I wearing a sign that says "moron"?
Of course I went with the dumb homemade logo!

7) How can I contact you?
	If you aren't a stalker, someone's legal representation who makes a commision
on lawsuits, or someone reading this file backwards to check for spelling errors so you
can chew my head off about how poor a writer I am, then you can contact me at:

	mike@ictv.com

Or visit my homepage at:

	On the other hand, if you are trying to sell me something or add me to a mailing
list or give me a free trial offer of USA magazine (or anything like that), you can 
contact me at:

	president@whitehouse.gov
	c/o You big funny liberal

8) Can I take you seriously, quote you, or use this document as proof that you have a
fetish for giant squid covered in butter?
	No.
