INTRODUCTION
------------
Zulu is a light-weight, small-footprint program for Windows 95, Windows 98,
and Windows NT 4, to help you determine what time it is in other time zones.
It starts up showing your local time, from which you can quickly and easily
go from time zone to time zone. This is a very handy tool in this age of
instant global communication! Now when you call someone, or chat with them
via IRC, ICQ, AIM, or even just e-mail, you'll know what time it is "over
there."


INSTALLATION
------------
The zulu.exe file is the program itself, simply copy it to the destination
directory of your choosing.  It requires the VB5 runtime, so if you do not
have that, you will want to pick up a copy, e.g., from the SimTel archive
at:
   http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll-pre.html

To have handy access to Zulu, you might want to add a shortcut to it from
your Desktop and/or Start menu.  Please consult your operating system
documentation or technical support staff if you are unsure how to create
a Desktop or Start menu shortcut.


USAGE
-----
Run the Zulu executable (zulu.exe) the way you would run any other program,
such as by using a Start menu shortcut, Desktop shortcut, double-clicking
it in Explorer, etc.  Once it is running, you can right-click the display
to see the various options available to you.  The options are intuitive and
brief experimentation will be more valuable to you than verbose documentation
here!

To use the calculator function, enter a time as it would be in the other
time zone (whatever you currently have configured as the time offset),
and then click either the 24 hour format or the AM/PM format to see what
that time is in your own time zone.  For example, if you have the time
offset to be +3 hours and you type in 13:00, clicking the 24 hour format
will display 10:00, meaning that 13:00 in the other time zone would be
10:00 in your time zone.

When you close Zulu, it will remember the time offset that you last used.
The next time you launch Zulu, it will start with that offset.  This makes
it very convenient to set the offset to be Greenwich Mean Time (GMT or Zulu,
thus the program name), and use the program as a quick GMT reference for
Ham radio or other applications.  Or, if you have a friend overseas, you can
readily find out what time it is for him or her before you dial the phone!
