   Welcome to PopChat messenger ver 0.5.4.18.
              -----------------



  What is that?
  -------------

PopChat is Microsoft Windows GUI application, developed to make the fast
message-based communication over local network as easy as talking with
each other. You will receive and send messages over LAN by selecting one
of the online users or just replying on incoming message. Or you can initiate
chat session with other user.
Features:
  - full WinPopup support;
  - autoscan for online users connected to network
  - chat with any other PopChat user
  - filter unwanted users and/or their messages
  - autoanswer when you are away
  - and more...
But best of all - PopChat is freeware, i.e. you will see no nag-screens,
no banners, no any other advertizing shi.., oops, things :). You do not have
to pay to use this software. You can distribute it in its original package.
If you do not sure, you have original version, please got to PopChat web-page
(see link below or at About form in PopChat) and download your own copy.
You may wish to review the history.html file to see whats new in this version.
Enjoy!


  Instalation
  -----------

No special installation required. Just unzip the package into any folder and
run the PopChat.exe application.
However, under Windows NT you must check what "messenger" service is stopped.
Note, what stopping this server will cause you to became "invisible" for
WinPopup users. But PopChat users will be able to talk with you as with any
other station. This is the limitation of Microsoft WinPopup application.
You may wish to review the PopChat options at the first time - just press F4
or click Other\Settings menu item.
