	Enable SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connections: Allows secure encrypted connections (Providing a suitable web browser is used), ensuring complete confidentiality and security of information sent to/received from TCZ. Ideal safeguard against 'packet sniffing' on your network. IMPORTANT: Use of encryption software may be illegal in some countries.
	Enable JAVA Script enhancements: Requires up-to-date web browser with JAVA Script enabled. Click on the link below to test whether your browser is JAVA-enabled or not (You will see a pop-up message if it is.) JAVA Script improves user-friendliness of the World Wide Web Interface. Use new scrolling method (Requires JAVA Script 1.2) Use old scrolling method (Recommended for older browsers.) Automatically set focus to 'TCZ command:' box. *Click HERE to see if your browser supports JAVA Script...*
	Enable Cascading Style-Sheets enhancements: Requires modern web browser with full support for style sheets* (Latest versions of Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer.) Enhances output, table layout and enables text background colours.* This text will be yellow on a red background if your browser supports style sheets.
	Enable automatically formatted links: Automatically turns links into proper HTML hyperlinks (I.e: www.sourceforge.net/projects/tcz instead of www.sourceforge.net/projects/tcz)
	Enable graphical smileys (Emoticons): Replaces text smileys (Emoticons) used to express emotions by users (E.g: :-) ) with graphical icon equivanlents (E.g: .)
	Enable coloured text (ANSI colour): Requires a recent web browser with support for font colour tags. Enhances readability of output by fully simulating ANSI colour (As used on text-only Telnet connections.) This text will be multicoloured if your browser supports font colours.
	Italic text instead of underlined text: Some browsers do not support underlined* text. If this is the case with your browser, enable this option.* This text will be underlined if your browser supports underlined text.
	Use alternative background image: Reverse foreground and background text colours. Black text on white background instead of White text on black background.
	Width of 'TCZ command:' input box: If you have a high-resolution display, you may like to increase the width of the 'TCZ command:' input box from the default of 80 characters to take full advantage of it.
