VERSION:        :  $VER: DalHelper.amirx 5.9 (28.11.97)

Requirements:

	1.	AmIRC installed, running correctly with RexxMSGPort.
	2.	Recommended that you make   Rx  resident.
	3.	MCF_Buttons.amirx (Version 5.1+) installed.

New to 5.9:

	Added New ChanServ feature:  Count.
	This function is restricted to channel AOPs and above.
	It returns the number of channel AOPs, SOPs, and AKicks.

New to 5.8:

	Seems that with Dal's latest server upgrade, you
	can't change nick too quick, so I added a 30
	second wait between Nick changes.

New to 5.7:

	Fixed a bug in the read routine.  Seems it didn't
	always grab the last entry in the MCF.Dal file.

New to 5.6:

	Added scanning for IRC error code 433 when in
	Nick change cycle of IDA function.

New to 5.5:

	IDA function now joins all Regged channels that
	you are not already on.
	Added a Cancel Wait-Loop function.
		USAGE:  /msg YourNick %DAL
	This will cause DalHelper to cease waiting for
	a response from services and exit the script.
	Added a check for IRC error code 401 on response
	to a PRIVMSG to services. (No such Nick/Channel)
	Script will exit Wait-Loop if this occurs.

New to 5.4:

	Added new function:  IDA.  This function will
	change your nick to all your registered nicks,
	Identify them to NickServ, then Identify all
	your registered channels to ChanServ.
		USAGE:  /Rx DalHelper IDA

New to 5.3:

	Added code to set Clips with About information
	for display in future GUI About function and
	Version which next release of MCF4AmIRC will
	display upon receiving a VERSION request.
	Added new function for removing the clips before
	quitting the net.
		USAGE:  /Rx DalHelper QUIT

Bug Fix to 5.2:

	Had the wrong OFF option coded for ChanServ
	Set TopicLock function.
	Added 2 new buttons in the DalHelper PlugIn
	for MCF_Buttons.

New to 5.1:

	A new Security feature for users who use
	other users' Amigas or for those who have
	more than 1 user on thier Amiga.  If you
	have a disk labeled  DalHelper  or make
	an assignment of  DalHelper:  to a directory,
	that location will be searched for the file
	MCF.Dal (password file) first before the
	AmIRC root directory is searched.  If found,
	it will use the MCF.Dal found in DalHelper:.

New to 5.0:

	MemoServ functions are now included.
	NickServ and ChanServ functions updated.
	Minor bugs found and corrected.
	Corrected bug found in Installer script
	 and upgraded it's version to 5.0.1.
