AmiComSys is a program that you use to communicate with other people on
a tcp/ip-net - e.g Internet. At the same time it make it easier to find
people's IP-addresses, for use with Internet games, and home pages.

It uses AMarquee.library by Jeremy Friesner & Håkan Parting for most of
it's network handling.

Now you can say "Hello!" to your friends on the net, or just see if they are
online.

You can:
* send text messages
* send chat requests
* send WEB-requests.
* transfer files.
* have a public realtime chat
* have a private realtime chat, with photos.
* advertise your homepage, ftp-site, IRC-server, ICQ id and own-made programs.
* extend the pogram by using plugins

Future updates will include more.

Please put it in your WBStartup drawer and enjoy ...
Then it will automatically connect to the server when you connect to the Internet.
It won't allocate memory for the GUI before it recognizes that you are online.

AmiComSys requires:

* amarquee.library v.54+ in LIBS:. It's included in the archive and will
be installed together with AmiComSys.

and Magic User Interface (MUI) version 3.8 or higher

(The third party packages below is most certainly already installed on your
Amiga. They are used by many other Internet programs, like for example YAM 2.0+)

* and NList.mcc 0.92+ by Gilles Masson & Sebastian Bauer, available at
http://home.t-online.de/home/sebauer/MCC_NList.lha

* and Toolbar.mcc by Benny Kjær Nielsen. Included in the archive
(MUI/libs/Toolbar.mcc). 

* optionally you may also use NewString.mcc by Rüdiger Sopp. (found in
the Ibrowse-archive)

* or Textinput.mcc by Oliver Wagner (found at ftp://ftp.vapor.com/misc/textinput_13.xx.lzx)

* or BetterString.mcc by Allan Odgaard. Included in the archive
(MUI/libs/BetterString.mcc).

Note that the above only apply if your friends is using AmiComSys,
and have an Amiga. AMarquee.library is ported to JAVA(tm) but AmiComSys is not.

History changes:

2.4 (01.06.2003)
----------------
BUGFIX: The "Kill gui" menu item had an empty key combination.
BUGFIX: When a modal message requester was opened only the main window was put to sleep. The
entire application must be put to sleep so the user cannot do anything else in the program.
In certain occasions this error would lead to a crash or an Enforcer hit.
NEW: Added requeststring function to the messagerequester class for use by plugins.
NEW: The reply text field and replybutton are no longer shown in reponse of a version and system info request.
BUGFIX: If you opened the Client Info window and then iconified the application and later
deiconified it the main window and the client window had the same dimensions and position.
NEW: Changed the layout of the message requesters. It should now get a better dimension
so you don't need to scroll. The sizegadget was also removed. If your requesters are snapshotable it
is still there.
NEW: AmiComSys now asks if you want to display the file you just received.
NEW: If a plugin is inside the ACS main window it's menu is added the first time the
plugin is active.
BUGFIX: Enforcer hit when you opened the Client Info of user without any comment and also when
such a user connected.
BUGFIX: It will now not go online when you uniconify after you have killed the gui while your
your status was set to offline.
BUGFIX If the comment, homepage and some other items on the personal info were set to an empty string
they were not updated in the contact list until you reconnected.

This program is ShareWare.
