III. HISTORY
===========
  1.00  - First release


IV. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
========================
This program requires Windows 95 or later to run. (Since
Winamp is a Win95 program, is there any reasons why this
program should not be a Win95 program? hum... :)  It also
needs msvbvm50.dll to run.

If your windows do not have msvbvm50.dll, you can download it
from my homepage at:

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/3333/download.html

unzip the zip file and put it in your Windows/Systems folder.


V. INSTALLATION
================
 1.  	Create a "Winamp EasyButtons" folder somewhere on your
     	computer (e.g. C:\Program Files\Winamp EasyButtons\).

 2.  	Unzip the contents of Winamp EasyButtons into the folder
	you have just created.

 3.  	Copy Picclp32.ocx and ComDlg32.ocx into you
	Windows/Systems	folder (directory).

 4.  	You are set to go!

UN-INSTALLATION
---------------
Why would you want to uninstall such a useful program? :(
However, if you really have to, simply delete the Winamp
EasyButtons folder.


VI. USAGE
==========
Before you do anything, please make sure that your would-be
Winamp Skin is 275 x 116 pixels, because the program will not
allow you to continue even if the skin is 1 pixel more or less.

 1.	Open WinampEasyButtons.exe

 2.	Click Open to open a background image.

 3.  	Click on the desired button area (A Tooltip text will
	appear if you are not sure which button it is).

 4.	If you want to save the image, click Save and type in a
	name for your image (make sure it is saved in .bmp
	extension).  If you want to copy it, just click on
	Edit|Copy from the menu bar.

 5.	Repeat step 3 and 4 until you finish, or until your
	fingers hunt.

Easy to use, eh? :)


VII. TIPS
==========
   *	Click on the top image will bring up the Open File
	dialog

   *	Right-click on the bottom image will bring up a popup
	menu.  You can choose your button from the popup menu

   *	Right-click on any button areas will bring up a popup
	menu.  You can choose to Save or Copy the button.
	Altervatively, you can Open a new image or Close the
	current one.

   *	Put your mouse over any button areas will bring up a
	Tooltip text that tells you which button it is.

   *	Shortcuts:
	Ctrl+O - Open
	Ctrl+S - Save
	Ctrl+C - Copy to Clipboard
	Alt+F4 - Exit


VIII. KNOWN PROBLEMS
=====================
It's nothing major, but I'll fix them when I know how to.

   *	The image flickers when you load it.
   *	Stereo and Mono indicators are 1 pixel wider.
