Readme file for MouseTool version 3.1.

This zip file contains this readmezip.txt file and the MouseTool setup
file, InstallMouseTool3.exe.
To install MouseTool, run the setup file.


What MouseTool Does:

MouseTool clicks the mouse for you. Its basic operation is simple: 
it watches as you move the mouse, and when you pause, it clicks.


New in Version 3.0:
  Version 3.0 has these new features:
* MouseTool now goes to the sytem tray when it is minimized.
* New hotkeys have been added that allow you to control the mouse buttons 
  directly.  You can now use a hotkey as if it were a mouse button, 
  or use a hotkey to start and stop dragging.
* MouseTool will not click if you are already holding the mouse button down.
* MouseTool now comes with several contexts already set for you.


You have many options to control MouseTool's behavior:

* You can use hotkeys as if they were mouse buttons, or to control MouseTool.
* Smart Drag mode allows you to drag the mouse cursor without using hotkeys.
* MouseTool is context-aware; it is constantly watching the window that 
  is under the mouse, so it can send the right click type 
  (left-, right-, double-, or drag) to any given window.

And many more.  See the help file for details.


Note:
On some systems, the mouse cursor automatically moves over the default 
button whenever you open a dialog box.  If your system doesn't do this
then you're fine, but if your system does this, you will have to 
disable this behavior in order to use MouseTool.  

This behavior is not a standard part of Windows; it is provided by 
third-party mouse software, typically in software provided by 
a mouse manufacturer.  To disable this behavior, you will probably have to 
go to an icon in the Control Panel (but this depends on the software).


Who I Am:

MouseTool was written by me, Jeff Roush, to help me deal with my own
tendonitis.  I had to leave a previous programming job because I became 
unable to use a mouse and keyboard.  Eventually, I developed MouseTool to 
allow me to use a computer again.  

MouseTool is part product of necessity, part commercial product, and part 
labor of love.  I use it all the time--I really can't use a computer for 
any length of time without it.
