REQUIREMENTS:
Windows95/NT
Internet connection with a 32-bit dialer such as the Win95 Dialer
A News server, specified like "news.ios.com" or "198.55.55.12"
A video card with a color depth set to MORE than 256 colors

PURPOSE:
TIFNY allows the Internet user to explore the granddaddy of the Internet (Usenet),
in much the same fashion the today's modern browsers do for the WorldWideWeb.

The purpose of TIFNY is to allow the Internet user hands-free, automatic
browsing of Usenet graphic images.  TIFNY's features allows total customization
of searches to minimize spamming and annoying or offensive postings.  It allows
keyword searches of newsgroup names and will let your capture your favorite 
to your local PC, so that you can create your own collections.  TIFNY can function
on-line or off-line (on your won collections) in a slideshow/screensaver mode,
showing you just the graphic images from Usenet.

INSTALLATION:
TIFNY is a self-installing program.  You should first run the setup (tifny01.exe),
and follow the installation program.  This will install TIFNY into the directory
of your choice and setup a program icon for TIFNY.

Once the installation has finished, and your Internet connection is established,
you may bring up TIFNY for the first time.  You will be prompted for your 
News Server name or tcp/ip address.  After this, TIFNY will initialize your newsgroup
database, and you will be ready to start searching.  Just type in a keyword and you
won't believe your eyes !!

There is a HELP and Qucikstart function in TIFNY that you can access once the
program is up.  You can "right-click" on any part of the tool bar for a description
of that function.  A single-click on any part of the displayed image will change
the background color, and a double-click on any image will make that image
your banner image for start up.

Also, don't forget to try the POSTING facility of TIFNY and become a participant
in the Internet's oldest society, USENET.

ENJOY !!
