1. OVERVIEW
-----------------------------------------------------------------

* What is Hilitext?

Hilitext is a free text highlighting software, which instantly
highlights all occurrences of specific words, phrases etc. in your
web pages, e-mail messages and/or other documents at your request.
It helps you seek information more quickly and hence saves you a 
lot of valuable searching time.

* Why do you need Hilitext?

We have plenty of information out there.  However, finding the right 
one becomes a more difficult and time-consuming task.  The existing 
finding tools only find PAGES which contain the text (words, phrases 
etc.) you are looking for and sort them out in a list or an HTML page.
You have to click a list item to see the result page in your browser.
The tools have no idea where exactly in the page the text are located,
and you have to spend a long time weeding through numerous hits that 
are off target.

With Hilitext, all occurrences of the found text in the page are 
now highlighted and you can instantly catch the information you are 
looking for.  It is both convenient and time-saving.  And what's more,
it's totally FREE!

Hilitext is simple and easy-to-use.  It is conveniently located in 
your system tray and ready to do its job by a simple mouse click.
Each time you want to search for information, just type in your words, 
phrases etc. in an editbox and hit the "GO" button.  It's that easy!

Other features include:

* Smoothly working with all browsers and e-mail composers  
* Customizable highlighting background and foreground colors 
* Wildcard support
* Totally FREE of charge!


-----------------------------------------------------------------
2. REQUIREMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hilitext requires Windows 95, 98, or Windows NT, 2000.  It will 
not run under Windows 3.1 or 3.11.  No other programs are

Some toolbar configuration options require version 4.71 or later 
of the Windows Common Control library.  This library is part of 
Windows 98, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, and is available as 
a separate download from the Microsoft web site. 

Under Windows NT4, Hilitext needs the PSAPI.DLL library.  This 
library is part of the Windows NT4, and is downloadable from the
