				1. OVERVIEW


	IRCIIWIN is the MS-Windows (WINSOCK-compliant) version of the IRC II
client. The IRC (which means Internet Relay Chat) is the Multi-User Chatting
system which became very popular and widely used by UNIX users. 

	In the recent time there appeared IRC clients for various operating 
systems (such as MacOS, MS-DOS, and so on).

	The windows versions of IRC clients I have seen do not support the 
IRC II protocol, which has became sort of a standard on major IRC servers. 

	The client you see is the attempt to make the Windows compatible,
user-friendly and IRC II protocol-speaking IRC client. Hope you will enjoy it.

NB: WINSOCK.DLL required in order to use this client.

			2. THE COMMANDS UNIQUE TO THIS CLIENT

At the present time, the client has only two unique commands:
	-SAVE - saves aliases to disk
	-LOAD - loads aliases from disk

In the future I am going to add more commands. If you have any ideas, feel free
to send me mail.
NB: 
	1) The UNALIAS command with no params given, erases ALL the aliases 
created during the last session
	2) SAVE command issued with no alias defined erases the aliases file
	3) LOAD command ADDS (and not replaces) the aliases.
	4) ALIAS command with no parameters lists all the aliases
	5) if the file AUTOEXEC.IRC exists, it is loaded at startup if 
connected to server. File AUTOEXEC.IRC should be built from the IRC commands
(one command per line) and should exist in the IRCIIWIN startup directory 
(where IRCIIWIN.INI and ALIASES.IRC files exist).
	6)"~" symbol is replaced with Ctrl-G (Beep)

The AUTOEXEC.IRC included in the package includes only one command : /load, 
which loads aliases if they were previously saved.

				3. REGISTRATION INFO

	This program is NOT freeware, but SHAREWARE, so you can use it only
for 30 days of trial period. If you decide to use it further, you must register
it. The registration costs $50 for single user and $450 for site license.

	Registering will give you additional features (such as UNIGNORE command,
DCC command and more comfortable interface). Registration will also disable 
some unpleasant effects, such as "Please register" dialog box that appears 
sometimes.

	How to register? Very simply: send cheque to the following address:

		DAVID ELKIND
	      Yavne Road, 49/10
		Rehovot 76344
		I S R A E L


	W A R N I N G : By not registering the SHAREWARE products, you cause the
people to think twice before spending hundreds of working hours and getting the
headache which always accompany programming process. 8-)

				4. CREDITS

	You may distribute this program freely as long as no charge is taken for
it and as long as the code remains COMPLETELY unchanged and this file exists in
the package.
