A MC68000 version may be found at http://hem.passagen.se/hparting/amigapa.html AmiComSys is a AMarquee client program which 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 and homepages. 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. * have a public chat * have a private chat. Future updates will include more. Please put it in your Online-script or wbstartup drawer and enjoy ... AmiComSys requires amarquee.library v.45+ in LIBS:. Get it from the AMarquee-package - aminet:comm/net/AMarqueeX.xx.lha and Magic User Interface (MUI) version 3.8 or higher and NList.mcc by Gilles Masson, available at Aminet:dev/mui/MCC_NList0_75.lha and BetterString.mcc by Allan Odgaard. Included in the archive (MUI/libs/BetterString.mcc). Does only work with Kickstart 3.0+. See below for Kickstart 2.0 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) Textinput.mcc is required if you are using Kickstart 2.04. You may download it at the above address. 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, or better a java class :-)) Features: * Send text messages. * Includes a client list, which shows people which have logged in. * Send WEB- or Chat-requests. * Uses Magic User Interface (MUI). * A message history buffer, which saves all the received messages. * Logging * Arexx interface * File transmission. * Public chat (HotLine) * Private chat (PChat) * Friendsbook. * TAB- and ':'-nickname-expansion in chat-fields. * Every window is iconifiable separately from the MUI-application. * Send WWW, FTP, IRC -addresses to your WEB-browser, FTP-client respective AmIRC. * Optional string-gadget class. Choose from Betterstring.mcc, Newstring.cc and Textinput.mcc History changes: 1.16a (25.01.1998) ----------------- NEW: Added arexx command SET STATUS. With it you may set the current status. (OFFline, ONLine, AWAy etc.). It's also possible to get the current status. To get a newline with the rexx commands REQUEST and REQUESTA you now must insert the rawkey code 13. (10 can't be used). BUGFIX: Some icons was just squares if you were not using Newicons. Reported by Jeremy Friesner. Thanks! Several fixes to make it work with Kickstart 2.04. Betterstring.mcc does only work with kickstart 3.0+, therefore Textinput.mcc is required for Kickstart 2.0 users. Thanks to Fredrik Zetterlund and Jeremy Freisner for helping me to find these bugs! Forgot to close asl.library. SendIRC.amicomsys now always open a new copy of AmIrc. 1.16 (18.01.1998) ----------------- NEW: Online, Offline, Away, Busy and Invisible status implemented. Current status for a client is showed in the client info requester. When you are away, arriving messages will be saved to the Message History buffer. Received messages while away will be highlighted. Number of waiting messages is showed in the info-text-area in the upper part of the window. The message which is sent to connecting clients, while away, is costumizable in the Program-settings-page-various tab. The Settings-window now have a MUI 3.0 look ... The arexx script "Rexx/MessageArexx.amicomsys" may now be executed automatically by AmiComSys when a message arrives. It could totally replace AmiComSys's message-requsters. You may do a rexx-script which show the message text somehow, or play a sound. If you just want to play a sound the checkbox "Replace ACS's requester", found in the Misc-settings-page, shall be unchecked. With the Arexx command SET MESSAGEAREXX 0/1 you can enable or disable this script. Added some keybindings to the Chat-window-textinput-fields. TAB-nickname-expansion and ':'-nickname-expansion. You may browse through the message in the list with the cursor keys. The text will be inserted into the textinput-fields. AmiComSys does not support the old String.mui-class anymore. The mui-costum-class BetterString.mcc is required. It's included in the archive. You may choose the string-class you like best. (BetterString.mcc, Newstring.mcc or Textinput.mcc) Private chat is now implemented. Press the PChat-button, while a client is selected. It's also possible to connect one chat window to several clients. Added ASK parameter to the Arexx SEND command. A confirmation requester will come up if specified. (Always if unregistered version). Added arexx commands REQUEST and REQUESTA. With it you can use AmiComSys's two kinds of message requesters. Changed layout in About-requester. Added number of connected clients. Added friendsbook. (windows menu). Idea by Rolf Bollmann. Thanks! Added Add button to main window. With it you add entries to the friends- book. You must open and close the friendsbook window for it to be saved. Added System-info to client info and settings. It's now possible to adjust the maximum width of the requesters. (windows- settings-Message requester tab-Max horiz chars). Added IRCServer-path to personal settings and client info. You may advertise your IRC-server. Any window may now be iconified separately! Just the window, not the whole application. Optimized for MC68020. 68000 version available at my homepage. BUGFIXES: The status-popup-menu was not working right. The info-textbox got an extra new line after the window was updated. AmiComSys did not remove broken connections from the server when the same client went online again, but with another IP-address. Reported by Thomas Steinbichler. Thanks! Removed enforcer flood, which happened when the Arexx command GET CLIENTLIST was used :-( This program is ShareWare. Version 1.16a-MUI (25.01.98) Copyright 1997-1998 Håkan Parting
