--------------------- FREE ALTAVISTA FREE 1.4.1 --------------------

		Win 9x, Win NT, Win 2000 compliant

This program is designed to kill the banner coming with Altavista Free 
Access. This program is a freeware and feel free to distribute it at 
large. See at the end of this text file to contact the authors.

To install, follow these steps:

1- Download Altavista Free Access from altavista in case you don't
	already have it	(http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/altavista/).

	1.1- Install Altavista Free Access
	1.2- Sign in with Altavista Free Access
		(when you connect the first time, choose from the box
		"Username" -> "Create a new account")

2- Download Free Altavista Free from Simtel.Net, the file includes
	everything you need. In case you don't have Visual Studio
	installed on your computer, you'll probably need to go to
	http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html.

	2.1- Install Free Altavista Free (freealtavistafree.exe)
		this will install the program and create shortcuts in
		the Start menu.

3- How to have a free connection without banner:
	
	3.1- To connect to the internet, start Free Altavista Free from
		start menu instead of Altavista Free Access Shortcut.
	3.2- Press "Get me Free" and you just save 20$ per month.

4- Options (new from v1.3)

	4.1- There is two options panels available from the arrows at
		the right. From the top arrow, you have four options:
           
		4.1.1- "Auto-Connect on Launch": If you check it, the
			next time you will start Free Altavista Free,
			it will automatically connect you to Altavista.
		4.1.2- "Start Browser": If you check it, the default
			browser will be lauched once connected to the
			net.
		4.1.3- "Connection Delay": Time in milliseconds (ms)
			(1000ms = 1sec) before killing the banners once
			connected to the net, see step 5.2 for more.
		4.1.4- "Add Shortcut": It adds a shorcut of
			Free Altavista Free on the desktop.
		
		4.2.0- For the second option panel (bottom arrow)
			you got two options:
		4.2.1- "Enter Altavista Free Path": It is provided to
			you in case Free Altavista Free cannot find the
			location of the .exe of Altavista Free Access,
			see step 5.4 for more.
		4.2.2- "..." (Browse): Graphic interface to point the
			location of Altavista Free Access.
	4.3- The "?" button sends you to the help (this "Read Me") and
		the credits screen.
	4.4- "Get me Free !!" button connects you to the net
		(without any banner hehe).

5- Troubleshooting

	5.1- If you get an error during the installation saying:
		"Access Denied" or "Access Violation" on a .dll or .ocx
		file, it just means that you already have this file.
		Therefore, just hit the "Ignore" button. A second box
		will then appear asking if you want to continue
		even if there is an error, so hit "Yes".
	5.2- If you connect to the net and get disconnect after 2-5
		minutes, try playing with the connection delay (this is
		system-dependent and may vary with respect to your
		computer speed. Default is 3000ms (3 seconds). The more
		fast your computer is, the smaller the delay must be.
		(try increment or decrement by 500ms).
		Approximative example:
		Pentium 100 -> 3500ms
		Pentium III 700 -> 3000ms
		Anyway, you got it.
	5.3- If the banner appears, your connection delay is probably
		way too high. In this case decrement it (step 5.2).
	5.4- If you get the "Invalid Target Program" message box:
		re-type the proper path of Altavista Free Access or
		browse by clicking on the "..." button at the right.
		The target is generally called "freeav.exe" and is
		located in "c:\program files\freeav".
	5.5- If you get a message box when starting Free Altavista Free
		telling you that you lack an .ocx or .dll, go to
		http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html.
	5.6- If you cannot make it work, Try again.
	5.7- Before smashing your computer, send us an e-mail
		with "I am clumsy" as subject.
