	AIM Ad Remover (or specifically, it could be 
called a patch or crack) will replace the ads on the
AIM software with nothing. This is very convenient for
many users, and will result in AIM running faster and
looking nicer.
	The ads themselves download approximately every
5-15 minutes, so the strain on the connection is removed
and the ugly conglomerate sales attempts of AOL and 
their "free" software are stifled.
	The author of this file doesn't like ads. :)

To use:
	1. Close AIM completely
	2. Select the path/directory of AIM
	3. Click the 'Remove Ads' button
	4. Restart AIM

	This patch works for AIM version 4.1.x and
above. If you have an older version, you can upgrade at
http://www.aol.com.
	If you wish to patch more than one AIM, you will
have to find each one specifically and use the program
on them one by one.

Requires: vb40032.dll, NoAIMAds.exe, Readme.txt

	This program is freeware and may be distributed
at will.  Any attempts to sell this program are strictly
prohibited as per the disclaimer, though giving this 
program or putting at any location is allowed as long as
it remains in its original form. Blah blah blah. As many
copies of this program as necessary may be installed on
any number of machines.
	Reverse engineering, binary manipulation, de-
compilation, hex/base > 1 editing not permitted!
Have a nice day.
