   WinPopup is a peer-to-peer messaging system included on the Windows 95
   installation CD-ROM. You can use it to send little notes that "pop-up"
   on the screens of users running Windows 95, Windows for Workgroups
   3.11, or Windows NT across the Internet.
   
What You Need to Get Started:

   [INLINE]
   
   First, make sure that your Internet connection to your provider runs
   well. Troubleshooting gets messy unless you know what works and what
   doesn't. To run WinPopup across the Internet, you need the following:
   
     * A Windows 95 machine with a functioning PPP connection to your
       provider (Windows 95 does not support peer-to-peer networking over
       SLIP connections)
     * Tested ability to connect to shared resources (as shown in the
       Peer-to-Peer Setup Page)

Step 1: Make Sure WinPopup is Installed

   [INLINE]
   
   Go to your Windows directory and verify that WINPOPUP.EXE exists
   there. If it does not, check for it on your Windows 95 CD and copy it
   into your Windows directory.

Step 2: Login and Start WinPopup

   [INLINE]
   
   Connect to your Internet provider as usual, then run WINPOPUP.EXE. Hit
   the envelope to send a message, then type in the computer name of the
   recipient. POP! It's in his/her face!

Step 3: Add WinPopup to your Startup Folder

   [INLINE]
   
   Put your mouse pointer over the [INLINE] button
   
   and press the right mouse button. Select Open, then open the Programs
   group. Open the Startup group, then create a shortcut to WINPOPUP.EXE.
   Now you'll be able to be reached by your Net friends every time you
   log on!
