Description

This plugin was born out of necessity. It was purely for the license page in the InstallSpiderUI (also written by me). Now I have released it as a plugin to the public. It loads a file into memory, then it sets the desired control with the same text. Supposed to be used with InstallOptions, but can be used for anything requiring a lot of text.
