AmiComSys is a program that 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, for use with Internet games, and home pages.
It uses AMarquee.library by Jeremy Friesner & Håkan Parting for most of
it's network handling.
Now you can say "Hello!" to your friends on the net, or just see if they are
online.
You can:
* send text messages
* send chat requests
* send WEB-requests.
* transfer files.
* have a public realtime chat
* have a private realtime chat, with photos.
* check your Pagoo message box.
* advertise your homepage, ftp-site, IRC-server, ICQ id and own-made programs.
Future updates will include more.
Please put it in your WBStartup drawer and enjoy ...
Then it will automatically connect to the server when you connect to the Internet.
AmiComSys requires:
* amarquee.library v.49+ in LIBS:. It's included in the archive and will
be installed together with AmiComSys.
and Magic User Interface (MUI) version 3.8 or higher
(The third party packages below is most certainly already installed on your
Amiga. They are used by many other Internet programs, like for example YAM 2.)
* and NList.mcc by Gilles Masson, available at Aminet:dev/mui/MCC_NList0_87.lha
* and BetterString.mcc by Allan Odgaard. Included in the archive
(MUI/libs/BetterString.mcc). Does only work with Kickstart 3.0+. Normal
MUI-string-gadget is used under Kickstart 2.0
* and Toolbar.mcc by Benny Kjær Nielsen. Included in the archive
(MUI/libs/Toolbar.mcc). Does only work with Kickstart 3.0+/68020+. This is not
used in the Kickstart 2.0/68000 version.
* 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)
(kickstart 3.0+)
Note that the above only apply if your friends is using AmiComSys,
and have an Amiga. AMarquee.library is ported to JAVA(tm) but AmiComSys is not.

History changes:
1.32 (25.03.2000)
-----------------
NEW: New home page with secure online registration opened at http://www.parting.nu/AmiComSys/
NEW: Removed the 'new'-message button. The message text field is now located in the lower
part of the main window, as it originally was in pre 1.25 versions of AmiComSys.
I didn't like the 'new'-button implementation and I don't know anyone which actually did.
BUG: removed a MuForce hit which did happen while a picture was displayed in the PChat window.
BUG: It was not possible to click the status cycle box button to switch the active status,
because it was draggable.
NEW: New AmiComSysRegister utility in the Register drawer. Use this to register AmiComSys
and decrypt the response you will receive by email when your registration have been processed.
NEW: New version of amarquee.library (V50) included.
NEW: New version of Toolbar.mcc and Toolbar.mcp (V15.6) included.
NEW: New version of imagepool.library used by Toolbar.mcc included.
1.31 (01.02.2000)
-----------------
NEW:
Fixed the PChat picture so whole the picture is visible if it has a size of
400x400 or less. Pictures bigger than 200x210 get scrollers. High quality dither is
used (AmigaOS 3.5). Status text show "loading picture ..." while loading and decoding
the picture.
The message requesters take the real font size in account when calculating
the window size.
Changed the layout of the new message window.
Added "don't show any" to the
"Put picture" cycle button in the Windows->Chat-settings. Select it to disable
pictures in the PChat.
The PChat picture is now put on the top right if it's set to to be put to the
right in the settings.
BUGFIX:
In low memory situations when AmiComSys failed to open the main window it tried to change
the toolbar layout. Removed it because it is of no use anymore when the toolbars is inside scrollers.
The Show/Toolbars did not hide/show the toolbars under AmigaOS 3.5.
Very rare the error message "Connection broken by sender" could
show up at the end of a SendFile session.
Sometimes it was not possible to click the "Download"-picture
button in the PChat. At least on AmigaOS3.5 systems.
Packed with a Y2K fixed LHA/LZX.
The download of pictures in the PChat did not work on fast Amigas, like 68060 or so.
There was a problem with the CPS-counter in the SendFile on 68060 machines. Had to change presentation
to bytes/s instead of kbytes/s.
This program is ShareWare.
