1. PURPOSE - Brief Explanation, Advantages, and Limitations
	v-ine v1.0 is a referral service.  Users may recommend your site to their friends using their own add entries.  The webmaster can receive notices of all referrals, including the custom message your visitors may send to their friends.

2. REQUIREMENTS - Necessary Software and Server Access
	PHP must be installed on your Web server.

3. INSTALLATION - Step-by-Step
	(1) Download and unzip v-ine.zip.  You should now have the following files:
		* thanks.html
		* v-ine.html
		* v-ine.php
	NOTE: If you want to use another filename for thanks.html, you must open v-ine.php and change the "thanksURL" variable.
	(2) Open v-ine.html for editing.  Enter values for the hidden form fields "url" and "webmaster".  "url" is the URL that will be advertised by v-ine.  "webmaster" is optional.  If you wish to receive notices about v-ine referrals, enter your e-mail address; delete it otherwise.
	(3) Open v-ine.php for editing.  Change the default v-ine message (the variable "defaultMsg") if you'd like to.  You can use "$friend_name" to refer to the person receiving the message and "$your_name" to refer to the person sending the message.
	(4) Upload the files.
	(5) You should finish by testing it.

4. CUSTOMIZATION
	You may completely change v-ine.html and thanks.html.  You may even change their filenames.  If you rename thanks.html, you must change the "thanksURL" variable in v-ine.php.  Also be careful about changing the form in v-ine.html.
