- **************************
-
- Advanced IRC is opensourced freeware. This

- freely published online on the Advanced IRC
- website - and no registration fees or other
- payments are needed to use it.
-
- It also means you can edit the source code
- and compile your own versions of Advanced
- IRC, as long as you send me the modifications
- you have done.
-
- You may distribute Advanced IRC in any way
- you want, see the bottom of this file.
-
- You may also not claim that the software or
- the source code is yours.
-
-
- Please do follow these rules. Thanks.
-
-
- SCRIPTING
- *********
-
- Advanced IRC supports loading VBScripts into a
- script engine which processes and runs them. Be
- careful when running scripts that you have not
- made yourself - they can easily be made malicious
- and make great damage.
-
- The Advanced IRC setup program includes some
- scripts that I have made. These are safe to use.
-
- Please note that no scripts will be overwritten
- during the installation process. That means that
- if you do not rename or delete these scripts from
- the program folder, you will not get the new
- versions of them.
-
- For further information, see the scripting
- documentation.
-
-
- LOGBOX2
- *******
-
- From version 1.25, Advanced IRC no longer uses
- Microsoft's "Rich Text Box" control, but now
- uses the "LogBox2" control.
-
- The original LogBox was made by Erlend S. E.
- for his old IRC client "E-IRC".
-
- Improvements:
-
- * Much faster than RichTextBox
- * Background colors are now supported
- * One less MS control :-)
- * When scrolling, scrollbar is not reset on
- new message
-
-
- KNOWN ISSUES
- ************
-
- 1) LogBox2
-
- Two refreshing issues: if the logbox is
- overlapped when it scrolls (e.g. on newline),
- the box is not totally refreshed. Second, when
- click-dragging to copy text, when unselecting,
- it doesn't refresh correctly.
