+BEARHTML  
+
+BEARHTML is middleware sitting between Pegasus Mail and an Html file viewer.  
+It is intended as an alternative to HTS in Pegasus Mail for rendering Html message content. 
+It is not an editor for preparing Html messages, and neither is it an Html browser .
+
+That being said the (first) installation is simple (from either the main Pegasus Mail site,
+or my direct update site: http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/
+
+1. Shutdown Pegasus Mail
+2. Download Bearnnn.zip (containing bearhtml.dll), BearSupport.zip and Bearxx.zip 
+   (where xx is country code for translated helpfiles). Eg Bearen.zip for English helpfiles.
+   Extract content of zips into the Pegasus Mail executables directory.
+3. Create an empty file using notepad, called bearhtml.log in the Pegasus Mail NewMail directory,
+   ie C:\pmail\mail\bearhtml.log (needed for tracing problems).
+4.  Review/Edit Bearhtml.ini, BearWarn.txt, and BearLang.xx if required (xx= language code). 
+5. Start Pegasus Mail.
+
+What do I see?   Well nothing new (hopefully). For html messages in the New Mail and 
+in normal message folders you should get the message rendered more accurately.
+
+Distribution set
+  
+   The following files make up Bearhtml:
+
+   Bearhtml.dll
+   Bearhtml.ini
+   Bearwarn.txt
+   BearTidy.cfg
+   Beartlds.txt
+   LibTidy.dll
+   BearGrfn.png
+ 
+   Bearhlp-en.htm       (EN is country code)
+   BearLang.en          (EN is country code)
+   Bearhtml-readme.txt  (this file)
+   BearDef.css
+ 
+   Bearhtml.log (in your newmail directory)
+
+
+
+Upgrades 
+
+From time to time, announced in Forums (community.pmail.com) Newsgroups and my website, 
+( http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/ ) new versions of Bearhtml.dll and 
+the helpfiles (Bearnnn.zip and Bearxx.zip) are made available.  
+You can download these files (per steps 1 & 2 above) and replace existing versions.
+Your options file, bearhtml.ini will not be replaced.
+
+
+Limitations (intended)
+
+1. Scripting languages, either imbedded or remote, such as Javascript are flushed/ignored but the webpage is rendered. 
+This affects code that differentiates between browser engines (IE/Firefox). Cookies processing is also ignored.
+2. In some cases remote images cannot be fetched as the Urls are incomplete and there is no <base> header tag coded. 
+
+Options
+
+At present the user interface for setting options is contained in Bearhtml.ini:
