Coffee Break is a simple utility designed to help prevent Repetetive
Stress Injuries (RSIs), such as carpal tunnel syndrome.  It does so by
forcing you to take periodic breaks.

It is available from my ftp server (thomas_mac.wustl.edu, or if you have
MacTCP 2.0.6, 128.252.178.156), and should soon be available on all major
Internet archives, and AOL.

Coffee Break uses Help on Wheels, by Ross Brown of AWOL Software
Production, to display it's on-line help.  If you have HoW, you'll get
full context-sensitive help.  If you don't, you can still use the on-line
help to save the help to a text file and view it that way.

Changes since version 2.0 are:

 - added Pause Corner feature
 - fixed potential bug with AppleEvent support
 - made Coffee Break a "fat binary" (it will run native on
   either a PowerMac or a 68K Mac)
 - added balloon help to Options dialog
 - moved "Show time window" menu item into Options
   dialog (as "Show Timer" item)
 - removed "Timer in sleep" option (timer is now always on)
 - added "Finder to front" option
 - added better handling of low-memory situations
 - fixed bug with picture not showing during sleep on some
   multiple monitor configurations

Let me know if you have any questions or comments...
