      -+-  Version Checker 2.50  *  Copyright (C)  DARKER [SCF] 2o24  -+-
      ===================================================================

Description
===========
This application can monitor updates on web pages (version changes) and show it
in friendly form. Define what page, what string to look for and if program detects
change it will tell you about it. You can also use it for checking exchange rates
or any data you want.

How it works?
=============
Program connect to your URL  and try find String1 on the page.  If found it then
search for String2. If found it  then search for  EndString,  from this place is
extracted and trimmed new string which is compared with our old value.

How to use it
=============
Command line parameters:
  file path: version file to load
  -a       : run checker in automatic mode (if there is no update then exit application)
