1. Description

	PublicIP is a small 30 liner to make the public / external IP 
	address visible to the user. This can be achieved with other 
	Command-line tools, but I just wanted to be able to use a 
	memorizable command that anyone could use as if it was always
	there. 
	There is no particular reason why it is a C# based .exe and 
	not a simple .cmd or .bat other than " I don't want to support
	that horrible batch/cmd 'language' ".
	
2. How to use
	
	After choosing the correct version (x86 or x64), you should 
	rename the file to "PublicIP.exe" (because that is how it was 
	originally intended to be called).
	PublicIP is a Command-line based program. It needs to be run 
	via the windows-command-line (cmd.exe). To run the program 
	from cmd.exe, simply type the name of the file ("PublicIP" / 
	"PublicIP_x64" / "PublicIP_x86").
	Upper- and lower-case generally do not matter.
	
3. How it works
	
	PublicIP simply fetches a string from canihazip.com and writes 
	it to the console. As simple as it gets.
	
4. License information

	Use it for whatever you want, as long as it's not commercial.
	
5. Disclaimer
	
	PublicIP is a lazy 30 line C# program, which will neither 
	protect nor publish anything. It will need an internet 
	connection in order to work, and it will only establish a 
	connection to canihazip.com [5.196.192.222]. If it does anything
	else, please tell me (see "6. Contact") and stop using it,
	as you may have run into a damaged / infected version.
	
	If you download the program PublicIP_x86.exe / PublicIP_x64.exe from anywhere else than
	github.com/leedoff, it is your own responsibility to make sure
	that it is safe. If you're not sure about where you got
	the .exe from, delete it and download it from the repository.
