SmartQuote v1.1                             created by Apex Software 04/17/96

SmartQuote is a simple "Quote of the Day" display program ideally used during
Windows startup to display a random quote from a quote file.  Upon loading 
the quote, SmartQuote will format the text, resize itself, and position 
itself in the center of the screen.  

The fonts and font sizes/styles can be changed from the Settings Menu.  To 
access the Settings Menu, simply double-click anywhere in the Quote Window.  
The Settings Menu can also change the Action settings, Quote Window caption,
and quote filename.

The Action settings will cause SmartQuote to take an "action" after a 
selectable number fo seconds.  These actions are described below:
* 'None' - take no action
* 'Show new quote' - randomly select another quote
* 'Minimize' - minimize quote window
* 'Close' - close SmartQuote
* 'Always On Top' - SmartQuote will stay on top of all windows (useful for
                    when Windows is loading and covers up the quote while
                    you are trying to read it)

The quote file must have a specific format.  Each quote must be separated by
a blank line (quotes can contain quotation marks ["] and can use as many
lines as needed) and must end with the origin of the quote prefixed by a dash
[-].  For example:

"I love SmartQuote;
and SmartQuote loves me!"

Each quote file can contain over 2,000,000,000 lines, but the longer the file,
the longer the load time.
