CONFIGURATION
--------------
-See: 'config', 'ijb.action', and 're_filterfile'. These are all well
-commented. On Unix-like systems, these files are installed in
-/etc/junkbuster. On Windows, then wherever the executable itself is
-installed. There are many significant changes and advances since
-v2.0.x. The user-manual has a run down of configuration options, and
-examples: http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net/user-manual/.
+See: 'config', '*.action', and 'default.filter'. These are all well
+commented. Most of the magic is in '*.action', and there are several
+of these included with varying degrees of aggressiveness. On Unix-like

Be sure to set your browser(s) for HTTP/HTTPS Proxy at <IP>:<Port>, or
whatever you specify in the config file under 'listen-address'.
DEFAULT is localhost:8118.
-The ijb.action file can be configured via the web interface accessed
-via http://i.j.b/, as well other options.

DOCUMENTATION
but it is not finished at this point. In particular, see the
user-manual there, and developers should look at developer-manual.
-The best source of information on the current development version, may
-still be either comments in the source code, or the included
-configuration files, which are all well commented. These are 'config',
-'ijb.action', and 're_filterfile' in the toplevel source directory.

-Some legacy documentation may also be included only to give an idea of
-what Junkbuster can do under doc/obsolete/*. Much has changed since
-these docs were written, so beware.
