            !Pluto v3.07 (06 Jul 2013)
            ==========================

Installation
============

Note that the !Pluto in this zip file is a complete copy of !Pluto.

It can be installed over an existing copy of !Pluto, or as a new
installation. See www.avisoft.f9.co.uk/pluto for further information.

To upgrade !Pluto to this version, drag the !Pluto application from this zip
file over the !Pluto application on your harddrive.  Do this while Pluto is
NOT running.

To install Pluto for the first time, drag the !Pluto application from this
zip file over the !Pluto application on your harddrive. 

Then copy the  !Pluto application directory from the "InstallNew" directory
in the zip file on top of the first !Pluto on your harddrive.


Help Files
==========

Pluto now comes with comprehensive help information in the form of a
StrongHelp file, which provides a small, compact help system with little
overhead. If you do not have the !StrongHlp application to read these files
then it can be freely downloaded from http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/fjg/

See !Help file 'History of changes' for details of the changes to Pluto.


Transport Applications
======================

Application(s) to 'Transport' Mail & News messages to and from the Internet
are required. PopStar, NewsHound, AntiSpam, and Hermes can all be used.

PopStar will fetch and send emails, and is freely available from
http://www.heenan.me.uk/acorn/download.html. This needs the separate download
of Socketwatch from that site because the PopStar download contains an old
version. 

NewsHound is a news fetcher, freely available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/riscosnet/files/releases/

AntiSpam will fetch emails with spam checking, and is freely available from
http://www.aconet.nl/antispam/

Hermes is a fully featured transport application, available from R-Comp
http://www.rcomp.co.uk/, and is supplied as a component of their package
NetFetch.


Source Files
============

To comply with the terms of the GPLv3 licence, the Source to build this
version of Pluto is available from http://sourceForge.net/projects/plutoemail
