                             ===> Version 3.5 <===

                     NEW and IMPROVED, BETTER THAN EVER!!!!!

       Total Connect Time Utility for use with America Online* for Windows

  Description:

     Version 3.5 Major upgrade designed to work with all known versions of
                 America Online* (including the latest AOLnet v2.5 Preview).  
                 Also in this release is a new feature to terminate AOLTIME
                 automatically when AOL exits.  This feature can be enabled/
                 disabled via a new menu item in the AOLTIME 'Options' menu.
                 Also the accuracy of the 'Herberts' has been improved.  A
                 new Help file (AOLTIME.HLP) is also included in this release.

     Version 3.0 Minor upgrade designed to work with WAOL versions 1.1, 1.5,
                 or 2.0.  A new feature has been added.  Just click the mouse
                 on the "Total Connect Time" display in the WAOL menu bar and
                 the AOLTIME utility will pop to the top.  No more fumbling
                 around on the Windows Desktop to get to the "Options" or
                 "Help" menu items.

     Version 2.5 Maintenance release to work optimally with WAOL.EXE v1.5.
                 Has all of the previous features of v2.0 plus some extras.

     Version 2.0 AOLTIME calculates and displays the 'Total Connect Time'
                 or 'Total/Current' times (default) when using America 
                 Online for Windows.

                 This program will display the total connect time used
                 (while connected to the America Online service via modem)
                 in the menu line of the WAOL.EXE program.

                 The 'Current' (session) time is accurate to +/- 5 seconds.

                 AOLTIME requires the user to reset the total connect time
                 counter every now and then (every month for example, when
                 you get your bill).  It may even ask you for a path to the
                 directory where WAOL.EXE is found.  But after that, it's
                 a snap.

                 Just invoke this utility instead of the America Online
                 application in the appropriate group you already have
                 in the Program Manager, and when you start AOLTIME the
                 America Online for Windows program will start
                 automatically.

                      ===> And best of all, AOLTIME is FREE!!! <===

                 Just copy the files AOLTIME.EXE and AOLTIME.HLP to the
                 America Online directory (probably C:\WAOL25).  Then
                 copy AOLTIME.INI to your Windows directory.

                 (NOTE: If you're UPGRADING from any previous version
                  keep your current copy of AOLTIME.INI, it has your
                  total time up to now.)

                 If you like, change the Program Manager America Online
                 entry to use AOLTIME.EXE instead of WAOL.EXE (optional).

                 That's it.  Start AOLTIME.EXE, and enjoy America Online
                 just like before, but now with the "Total Connect Time'
                 display.

                 If you need any more help just select "Help" from the
                 AOLTIME menu item (located in the AOLTIME menu bar, NOT
                 the WAOL.EXE menu bar).  The "Options" menu item is also
                 located in the AOLTIME menu bar, NOT the WAOL.EXE menu.

                 NOTE: AOLTIME normally runs as an icon on the Windows
                 Desktop.  To see the "Options" and "Help" menu items,
                 just click on the "Total Connect Time" display in the
                 WAOL menu bar.  AOLTIME will open up to reveal its menu
                 items.  Once again, don't look for these items in the
                 WAOL.EXE menu bar, they're in the AOLTIME menu.
