Sizer (8-11-2001)

Sizer is a little IPF inf window shrinker. You may have noticed that when you open any IPF help document, the window fills the whole screen. This is great for reading the help, but not so great if you need to do something else while the document is open. Sizer can resize these help windows to a more reasonable size.
