INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
**************************

To install Q-Ainfo-manager V2.1, extract all of the contents of this zip file into your root mIRC directory or wherever you wish. To load Q-Ainfo-manager, simply type the following command in mIRC:

/load -rs Q-Ainfo-managerV2-1.mrc


PLEASE NOTE: This script was made with the purpose of being used on DALnet. Some of the features, such as sending a memo (through MemoServ) will only work on DALnet where those services exist.


****************************
TO USE Q-AINFO-MANAGER V2.1
****************************

Simply right-click in your status, channel or nicklist and choose "Q-Ainfo-manager" from the popup menu.  This will start up the dialog.  To add entries, go to the "Edit/Add" tab of the dialog and fill in a user's info.  You may also add a picture by clicking on the "Add Pic" button.  Then click the "Edit/Add" button to add the user's information into the info-manager.

When you select a nick in the list their information will be displayed. You can edit a user's information at any time by selecting them from the list and then clicking the "Edit/Add" tab.  Make your changes and then hit the "Edit/Add" button to store the changes. You can also delete a nick from your list, which will also remove all of their stored information, including picture.

On the "Contacts" Tab, the "Whois" button will pop up another dialog box to display the whois information, the "Send Memo" button will pop up another dialog box to allow you to enter in a memo message and send the memo to an entry, and the "Copy Info to Clipboard" button will automatically copy all of the entry's personal information you have stored (from all tabs) to your computer's clipboard, so that you can then paste their personal information into your choice of text editors or eleswhere outside of the dialog. (added for v2.0, 11/4/03)

Otherwise, this is a pretty self-explanatory addon. You can click the "save" buttons if you wish, but the information is automatically saved on exit. If you need help for any reason, you can find me in #Helpdesk on DALnet. Or email me at queenie@gobbly.net.

I would appreciate any suggestions, comments, questions, or criticism from you on this script, as it is my first "released" script for mIRC, and I will never learn or become a better scripter without your input!  Thanks!



*****************
Updates, 11/4/03
*****************

Added a "whois" button to allow you to whois a selected nick from the list, which opens a new dialog window that displays the whois information.

Added a "Send Memo" button to allow you to send a memo to a selected nick from the list, which also opens a new dialog window.

Added an option to store/retrieve a user's regular channels.

Added a drop-down menu to select a country to the mailing address for each user.

Added a "Send Email" button that opens your default mail browser to allow you to email a user from the dialog.

Added a "Copy Info to Clipboard" button to allow you to copy all of a user's stored information directly to your clipboard for ease in copying personal info to another program instead of cutting and pasting each individual edit box.

Updated and made the "Edit/Add" tab much cleaner and smoother; more uniform and user-friendly.

Fixed a whois bug that caused errors when a whois was triggered by a different running script at the same time Q-AIM was installed.
