*** INSTALLATION

Unzip the archive in a folder of your choice. 

You will find four files: ip2c_gui.exe (the GUI program), ip2c.exe (the console version), ip2c.chm (the help file) and readme.txt. 

You can create a shortcut to ip2c_gui.exe in the usual way. 

Run ip2c_gui.exe. 

A configuration file, ip2c.ini, will be created after the program has been closed for the first time. 

You can always delete this file safely if you want to restore ip2c to its default values.

The console version does not create nor need a configuration file.
