        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Intro
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        PCLoupe is a small display utility that shows a magnified image of the
        area around your mousepointer in its window. You can move or resize this
        window, change its refresh rate, and make it topmost if you like.


        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Requirements
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        A file you _may_ need is the VBruntime.
        You can read about this file and download it at the BlueFive homepage at
        http://bluefive.pair.com/vbrun.htm


        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Installation
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Automatic installation (Setup.exe).

        To uninstall:
        double-click the 'Uninstall PCLoupe' icon in the Start menu, or go
        to Control Panel/Software/PCLoupe and click "Remove".


        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Usage
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Left  click in the PCLoupe window to ZOOM IN.
        Right click in the PCLoupe window to ZOOM OUT.

        More options and functions are available in the popup menu (in the
        taskbar, next to the clock, right-click the PCLoupe icon to activate it.) 
        Here's the list:

        * Zoom IN
          Well, that's pretty obvious...

        * Zoom Out
          Another no brainer...

        * Keep 1/1 (No Zooming)
          Check this to keep the display at a 100 percent.

        * Refresh High
          Check this to make PCLoupe refresh its window more frequently.
          (Refresh at about every 0.2 seconds - takes up more processor time)

        * Refresh Always
          Check this to make PCLoupe refresh its window continuously, not only
          when the mouse cursor moves. (Refresh at about every second)

          (If both Refresh High and Refresh Always are UNchecked, PCLoupe will
          refresh its window only when the mouse cursor moves).

        * Freeze
          Check this to force PCLoupe to freeze its window (uncheck to unfreeze).
          TIP: press left ALT and SPACE bar simultaneously to toggle freeze.

        * Freeze and Lock
          Click this to force PCLoupe to freeze its window and lock (disregard)
          changes or movements in the area it is displaying. It will do this for
          10 seconds and then "unlock" again (the display will still be frozen,
          but changes will be seen again in realtime. Hit Alt + v again if you
          require the 10 second 'freeze and lock' again.

          TIP: press left ALT and v simultaneously to trigger a timed freeze and
          lock.

          COMMANDS:
          To change the 10 seconds delay, please use the PCLoupe shortcut
          icon, right-click on it, select Properties and add a space and a number
          (seconds) behind "C:\Program Files\PCLoupe\PCLoupe.exe" at the Target
          box. Then hit Apply and OK. For example, it could look like this:
          "C:\Program Files\PCLoupe\PCLoupe.exe 5". In this case, the delay would
          be 5 seconds.

        * Always on Top
          Check this if PCLoupe should always stay on top of other windows.
