AmiComSys is a 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.
It uses AMarquee.library by Jeremy Friesner for most of it's network handling.

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

History changes:
1.19b (17.06.1998)
-----------------
BUGFIX: HotList online/offline status was not updated after a reconnect.
Reported by Rolf Bollmann. Thanks!
NEW: Updated Pagoo-check to the current standard. (to make it work again ...)
1.19a (08.06.1998)
-----------------
BUGFIX:
The hotline were not working. Hm. last second fix.
The TAB-completion weren't working as intended.
The ICQ # were not saved.
MUI-codes were saved in the Chat-window's save function, that
was not intended. User enterned and user left is also not saved anymore.
Thanks Frederik Thiesen for reporting this!
1.19 (07.06.1998)
-----------------
NEW:
Now you are able to connect to clients behind a firewall with PChat
and SendFile fully transparently, if you are not behind a firewall yourself.
Set the setting "I'm behind a firewall" in the network settings if
your are behind a firewall or have very restricted access in Miami-IP-filter
(if port 1024-32767 is rejected).
AmiComSys now can check your Pagoo message box at regular intervals, so you don't
have to waste your time looking at your online center manually.
Look at http://www.pagoo.com for more info about Pagoo.
When a new message arrives a message will pop up after a while (depends
on your settings) asking you to visit your Online Pagoo Message Box.
Pagoo already provide you with the service to send you an email asking
you to visit your Message Box online. If you want you can switch that service
off and use AmiComSys instead, but it is you choice. Personally I like this
better, I don't want my in-box in YAM filled with Pagoo-notifications. I'm
too lazy to delete them :)
You can set the position of the iconify-icon of the mainwindow in
the Iconification-settings at the Program-settings-page.
Suggested by Asha. Thanks!
Add a link to a photo of yourself in the Personal-settings-System tab, so
the one your are chatting with, via PChat, may download the photo and
having it inserted into the PChat window.
Friendsbook relayouted.
One can see if a client is away or busy by looking into the client info
window, but now registered users can see it directly in the list. The letter
# or * at the beginning of each client in the list will change to a '&' for away
status and a '%' for busy status.
Thanks to Alex Tucker for the suggestion!
The message history is now automatically saved when the connection
to the server is lost, instead of when the program quit. If found out that
if you have AmiComSys in SYS:WBStartup you never quit it!
AutoSave must still be set to on in the Windows-settings - Message History tab.
This is disabled in the unregistered version of AmiComSys.
The message you enter in the Hotline will be inserted into the list
directly, without first waiting for it to come back from server. It think
this is better and I think most of the IRC clients for Amiga are using this
technique.
Messages which is for you is now highlighted in the HotLine.
If you are using Tab-completion in the HotLine and seek word entered is
ambigous the first entry in the client list will be inserted. If this
is not the right one, just press Tab again and the next entry in the list will
be inserted!
The Tab-completion is now case-independent.
Last two are suggested by Frederik Thiesen. Thanks!
It's now possible to hide your IP-address/host name from the client-list.
Settable in the security settings at the network-settings-page. This is
only working for registered users.
If you have an ICQ # you can insert it into the Pagoo/ICQ settings. Then
people can see you ICQ# in the client-list, and it will also link to your
personal ICQ Message center.
You can now enter a second home page in the personal settings. Choose
between a ftp-site or a second homepage.
Added settings "Enable Message Center" at the network-security settings
page. Default is checked, i.e, enabled. If you disable it people can't send
you messages from the AmiComSys Message Center at the AmiComSys home page.
Last two suggested by David Hamilton. Thanks!
Messages sent to a multiple number of clients now have the word "Multi" in
the window title.
Added nick names to the SendFile windows.
Also suggested by Fredrik Thiesen.
Updated the Message-Center, and the message requester in AmiComSys.
Thanks for the suggestions David Hamilton!
If you add a client to the Friends book, via the Add-button, the client
list will be updated.
Suggested by Alex Tucker. Thanks!
BUGFIX:
The icon was buggy. Resaved it with another program
Connection refused was showed in pchat when one of the people connected
broke the connection (only in multi-PChat (Invite selected client)).
Only the registered version of AmiComSys received messages sent
from the AmiComSys-server, i.e. messages sent from the Message-Center
and other important messages from the author (the permissions weren't set
right) :(
Only the first user in the ignore list was actually ignored, the rest
was ignored by AmiComSys :(
If going from offline status to invisible status, info about the client
was sent. Therefore it was showed in the list for a while in the list before
it was deleted.
Bug reported by David Hamilton. Thanks!
The info in the upper part of the window sometimes were printed on top of the
list! Should be fixed now.
AmiComSys freezed if the message requester failed to open due to
unsufficient memory.
This program is ShareWare.
