    Summary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UTBinder is a utility that has the possibility to edit the user.ini and ut2004.ini 
of Unreal Tournament 2004 in a advanced but easy way. This way you can easily change many
settings wich are normally hard to reach.
For a list of features look further downt in this document. 
Ive changed the software from FreeWare into AdWare. Only reason is I wanted to have
something in return. I am not sure yes if I am going to show commercial banners, or just 
banners that send people towards one of my websites (if people ever click banners, 
because I know I never do).

The previous 2 binders for Unreal Tournament 99 and Unreal Tournament 2003 
were written in Borland Delphi 6, but UTBinder 2004 is made in Delphi 7.

It all started somewhere in november 2001, when I wrote this program to interact
with Unreal Tournament 1. When Unreal Tournament 2003 came out I couldnt resist
to build an UTBinder for this game also. UTBinder 2003 went very popular and wide spread.
Now Unreal Tournament 2004 is released, so a new job arrived. After being asking 
by several people i started converting UTBinder 2003 into UTBinder 2004.
I still play the first Unreal Tournament 99 only (mainly domination), in the same 
lovely clan that I play since long time: [3am] (http://www.3am-clan.org).

   Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unzip the files to any folder you want.
Open UTBinder2004.exe.
Select the Main Unreal tournament 2004 dir and press okay (UTBinder 2004 already 
tries to find the right directory)
See the menu on the topside for options, and see the tabs for the different settings

* BEWARE: you have to close Unreal Tournament 2004 before you can save the changes !*
