Activate Windows with Rei Ayanami
Copyright (C) 1995 by Elemental Soft.


This file was originally distributed as .lzh.  I have repackaged it as a
self-extracting zip file and included this readme file.

Archive Contents:

ACTWINHK.DLL  ; dll used by the program
AW_REI.EXE    ; the program
AW_REI.HED    ; about the author (in japanese)
AW_REI.HLP    ; help file (in japanese)
AW_REI.TXT    ; description of program (in japanese)
README.TXT    ; this file


To Install:

1. Create a directory where you want Rei Ayanami to live.
2. Put awrei.exe (the self-extracting zip file) into this new directory.
3. Run awrei.exe to extract the files.
4. To start Rei, run aw_rei.exe.  Rei Ayanami will appear on the upper right
   part of the currently active window.

Options:

Right-click on Rei to get a menu of options.  These options are largely in
japanese but a little playing around will tell you what's what.  Here is what
I have figured out so far:

The three radio buttons on the left control Rei's outfits.  The third radio
button is deactivated (at least on my machine).

The top of the two check boxes on the bottom left, when checked, will put Rei
in bandages.

The bottom check box, when checked, will cause Rei to be completely removed
then redrawn anytime the window is updated.  This will minimize any visual
garbage.  If this box is unchecked, Rei will update much more quickly but if
two windows overlap where she is sitting, the graphics could get messed up.
THIS IS NOT HARMFUL!  It just looks bad.

The buttons on the right, from top to bottom are:

OK    : accept the current settings and keep Rei running.
CANCEL: cancel the current settings are return to previous settings.
About : a brief title and credit.
HELP  : calls up the help file which is in japanese.
QUIT  : Stops Rei from running and removes her from the screen.
