Name:			B-Away171.mrc
Version:		1.71
Type:			Addon (away)
mIRC:			5.50+
What does it do???:	Awayaddon, go away!


To load:
=======
Extract the .mrcfile to somewhere, then:
-If you unzip it to your main mIRC folder, type /load -rs B-away171.mrc.
-Type //load -rs $getdir(*.mrc) $+ B-away171.mrc (if somebody sent you this file on IRC)
-Type //load -rs $findfile(c:\,B-away171.mrc,1) (substitue c with the drive letter of your harddrive)


NOTE:
====
Make sure you unzip B-away.hlp as well as B-awdial.mrc, the .hlp file is the helpfile
(in regular windowsXX format), while B-awdial is the code for the dialog. The helpfile
should be placed in your mirc directory, you will get an error message if the script
cannot find the file here, the other files can be placed as desired. The script will
attempt to copy the helpfile to the mircdir on load, so this should not be a problem.


Usage:
=====

* /a [switches] <awaymessage here> to go away,
* /a [-q] [returnmessage here] to return, optionally with a message
* /back [-q] [returnmessage here] works only when away, does the same as /a
* /a 'help' [topic] [subtopic] to get help, /a help returns available topics.
* /a 'set' <topic> <value> to change the settings
* /a 'settings' will return the current settings.
* ==
* Alternally, via popups (B-away v1.7 - ... in statuswindow, menubar and channel :)
* Or via dialog (to access dialog, use /a dialog or B-away v1.7 - Dialog)..


What's new:
==========
v1.71	Er, damn bug in autoaway. Tested and working ok now :)
v1.7	Script vastly rewritten, around 40-50% of the code has been rewritten or
	modified, and I have added around 50% new code. Added a channel list for
	where to announce your away's, changed help system
	(now in helpfile, not .txt), made an awaydialog, rewritten settings dialog,
	rewritten popups, slight changes to switches, cut a whole lot of code
	(verbose errormessages went to recycled-land), tails will now show in /whois
	as well, unload is now available via commandline as well, and..and..
v1.5	Dialog written, double-click splash screen bug and helpfile error fixed.
v1.1	You can now access it via popups as well. The pager can now show an
	optional message if any is given. A number of smaller bugfixes and
	cleaning of code.
v1.0	First version. Aliases only :).


Plans for the future:
====================
Last plans for the future was followed up quite to the point, currently I plan on
adding a dcc (chat/file) handling option, as well as an option for friends to "avoid"
the log/block. On the more technical side, cleaning up the script some, to make
adding to it easier, adding a "history" list of previous awayreasons, along with any
other good ideas that may be given to me (send in your comments people! :)


Comment:
=======

This was a much larger remake of the script than I intended to do, and I believe it
has in it all the points I have received in previous reviews/comments, as well as my
own ideas, and as such, is a step forward :). It is however still rather huge,
mainly due to the helpfile. I have always aimed at making my scripts cover as many
"problems" and possible errors as possible, rather than making small and compact
scripts. I am a firm believer of giving the user the interface (s)he wants, rather
than forcing anybody to use commandline, or popups, or dialogs, and I believe the
everyday user will find the commandline easiest after a little use, but then again,
what do I know..=P. The script has been tested with mIRC v5.60 and found to work
without any problems, if any problems found, please email me and let me know :).
