In order to distribute and/or use this software, you must include this README.txt file.
Failure to do so will result in people saying mean things about you behind your back.
NOTE: If you paid money for this software, you are a fool. It was free, is free, and
always will be free. So if you paid money complain to whoever you bought it from,
not me. For more information, see the "License" section of this README.txt file.
---------------------------------------
This project is hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/masstext/
You can contact me (erik) at erikthiem@gmail.com
---------------------------------------
Releases:
Until a more-stable graphical version is produced, there are going to be no official releases.
You can download the most stable version with http://masstext.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/masstext.tar.gz?view=tar
---------------------------------------
Description: MassText asks users for a phone number and a message
and then sends the message to the number as a text message. 
The format of the text is as follows:

from senderemail@gmail.com
FROM:SENDER'S NAME.This is some text in the message. This is some more text.

---------------------------------------
Installation:

Linux:
On most linux systems, Python is preinstalled. If not, install it (versions 2.5
or 2.6) using whatever tool your distribution uses.
Other packages needed (debian/ubuntu names used here):
* python-qt4
* python-beautifulsoup

To run, navigate to the folder containing MassText.py, and type "python MassText.py console".
In order to try the currently-unfunctioning gui version, type in "python MassText.py"

Windows (maybe 2000, XP, Vista, maybe 7):
Install Python (versions 2.5 or 2.6)
For help installing in vista, see: 
http://www.neuralwiki.org/index.php?title=Guide_to_installing_Python_in_Windows_Vista

Mac OS X:
Python is preinstalled on Mac OS X, but often not an up-to-date-enough version.
Find out what version you are running. If it is less than 2.5, update it.
If not, you're good to go. Just go to a terminal window, navigate to the folder
containing MassText, and run "python MassText.py console"
In order to try the currently-unfunctioning gui version, type in "python MassText.py"
---------------------------------------
NOTE:
Please keep in mind that this is only a developmental release. It works for
me, but that does not mean that it will necessarily work all of the time
for everyone. If you have a problem with MassText, please visit

---------------------------------------
Website:
MassText's website is http://masstext.sourceforge.net
It contains the most up-to-date information on the project, which will definitely be at least,
if not more, up-to-date than this README.txt file. If you have any problems running MassText,
check out the website. There might be help on it.
