                       Floodbot Front End v0.2 for Win95


    This program is a front end for Floodbot, a Unix shell program ported to
Win95.  It has a wealth of parameters and I got tired of shelling to DOS and
then forgetting what params to type for different floods.  I made a few Popups
in mIRC that started it, but really wanted to have a nice front end.  So one
morning, with not much else to do, I wrote one up in VB4.0.  It's not real
pretty, but it gets the job done for me.

    I hope to add a bit more intuitive interface and other improvements in
general.  Even though it doesn't look great, it's still pretty easy to use.
Simply start the program up and first of all change the EXE file location.
Have it point to the exact location of FLOODBOT.EXE.  Then, enter your para-
maters and hit start.  The program doesn't yet check whether you've entered
in all the paramaters correctly, so please make sure of this on your own.

After hitting Start, it should pretty much run on it's own.

If you use mIRC (of course you do!), go to Tools, Popup and add something
like this if you want access to the program as a popup.
