AmiComSys is a AMarquee client program which you use to send messages
to other people on a tcp/ip-net - e.g Internet. 

Now you can say Hi! to your friends on the net, or just see if they are
connected.

You can:
* send text messages
* send chat requests
* send WEB-requests.
* transfer files.

Future updates will include support for personal and public chat and more.

Please put it in your Online-script and enjoy ...

There are two versions of this program with two different GUIs.
AmiComSys.lha and AmiComSysMUI.lha.
This is the GadTools GUI Version.

AmiComSys requires amarquee.library v.43+ in LIBS:. Get it from
the AMarquee-package - aminet:comm/net/AMarqueeX.xx.lha

Note that the above only apply if your friends is using AmiComSys,
and have an Amiga. ( An IBM-PC-version of AMarquee.library would
be nice :-))

Features:

* Send text messages.
* Includes a client list, which shows people which have logged in.
* Send WEB- or Chat-requests.
* Totally Font Sensitive UserInterface.
* A message history buffer, which saves all the received messages.
* Logging
* MUI and a GadTools-version.
* Arexx interface
* File transmission

History changes:

V1.12 (02.08.97)
NEW: ARexx support added. These commands are available:
SHOW, HIDE, ICONIFY, QUIT. (ICONIFY and HIDE has no differance in MUI-version).
GET. See ARexx Support.
NEW: New menu, Arexx, where you can execute and add arexx scripts.
BUGFIX(MUI-version): When three or more clients were logged in the client
list went totally messed up. One client pointed to another's information.
Messages could there fore be sent to wrong client.
By mistake I used an undocumented feature of MUI (the listview entries were
moved like in a queue).
But fortunately the GadTools-version worked okey.
Bug reported by Alex Tucker, Singapore. Thanks!
BUGFIX(MUI-version): WEB-Request did not work.
NEW: The client list is now only updated once when a client log in.
NEW: A new logglevel, Everything. Simple logs onlines and offlines, and
Everything logs start, end and client info updates too.
NEW: Added homepage and ftpsite to Settings and tooltypes.
NEW: Added HTTP and FTP buttons to Client Info (Double click on the client
in the Client list).
NEW: Added Send Confirmation to settings. You can specify if you want the
confirmation requester when you press the SEND button. (only registered version)
BUGFIX(MUI-version): Enforcer hit when it recieved a message.
BUGFIX: Enforcer hit when someone logged out.
NEW: New users are now inserted at the bottom of the client list.
NEW: An Arexx-script: NotifyArexx.amicomsys is executed when the client list is updated.

V1.12a (04.08.97)
BUGFIX: Could hang the computer when the settings window were closed :-(
BUGFIX: Could log onlines twice (I hope it's fixed now ...).
NEW: The GadTools-version in smaller now :-)

V1.13 (06.08.97)
NEW: To start AmiComSys with Run >NIL: AmiComSys had it's disadvantages, the output
from the arexx-scripts were sent to NIL:. This led to problems because mostly
you start it that way in a login-script ... Now AmiComSys has its own console window
both when started from Workbench and from CLI.
NEW: A new Tooltype PROGDIR. Set it to the path to your AmiComSys directory
if you start AmiComSys from another directory than it's own, e.g. WBStartup drawer.
This is needed so AmiComSys can find the rexx directory and the config files.
BUGFIX: The loglevel was impossible to change in Logging Settings.
NEW: File transmission.
NEW: Set the time offset from Greenwich Mean Time in Program function settings. This makes
the time values (in client info and message headers) right.
If you for example live one time zone east of GMT you set this to GMT + 1 Hour.
which is Central Europe Time (CET).
You really don't need to set this, because it's read from your Locale-preferences.
If it's Distant Savings Time you must check the checkbox. (mostly in summer time)
NEW: AmiComSys gadtools version now use a stack size of 8192 bytes. This is
automatically set if it's wrong in the icon.
 
This program is ShareWare.
