ABOUT SPEEDCRUNCH PORTABLE
==========================
The SpeedCrunch Portable Launcher allows you to run SpeedCrunch from a removable drive whose
letter changes as you move it to another computer.  The application can be entirely self-
contained on the drive and then used on any Windows computer.


LICENSE
=======
This code is released under the GPL.  The full code is included with this package as
SpeedCrunchPortable.nsi.


INSTALLATION / DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
==================================
By default, the program expects one of these directory structures:

-\ <--- Directory with SpeedCrunchPortable.exe
	+\App\
		+\SpeedCrunch\
	+\Data\
		+\settings\

It can be used in other directory configurations by including the SpeedCrunchPortable.ini
file in the same directory as SpeedCrunchPortable.exe and configuring it as details in the
INI file section below.


SPEEDCRUNCHPORTABLE.INI CONFIGURATION
=====================================
The SpeedCrunch Portable Launcher will look for an ini file called SpeedCrunchPortable.ini
within its directory (see the Installation/Directory Structure section above for more
details).  If you are happy with the default options, it is not necessary, though.  The
INI file is formatted as follows:

[SpeedCrunchPortable]
SpeedCrunchDirectory=App\SpeedCrunch
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
SpeedCrunchExecutable=SpeedCrunch.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScree=false

The SpeedCrunchDirectory and SettingsDirectory entries should be set to the *relative* path
to the directory containing SpeedCrunch.exe and the settings files.  They must be a
subdirectory (or multiple subdirectories) of the directory containing
SpeedCrunchPortable.exe.  The default entries for these are described in the installation
section above.

The SpeedCrunchExecutable entry allows you to set the SpeedCrunch Portable Launcher to use an
alternate EXE call to launch SpeedCrunch.  This is helpful if you are using a machine that
is set to deny SpeedCrunch.exe from running or to launch the writer, calc, etc directly.
You'll need to rename the SpeedCrunch.exe file and then enter the name you gave it on the
SpeedCrunchExecutable= line of the INI.

The AdditionalParameters entry allows you to pass additional commandline parameter
entries to SpeedCrunch.exe.  Whatever you enter here will be appended to the call to
SpeedCrunch.exe.

DisableSplashScreen allows you to disable the splash screen when set to true.


PROGRAM HISTORY / ABOUT THE AUTHOR
==================================
This launcher grew out of John T. Haller's work on the Firefox Portable and Thunderbird Portable
projects.  Some of the ideas arose from discussions relating to Firefox Portable &
Thunderbird Portable in the mozillaZine forums.
