Readme for the DieNow script v3.6, for mIRC
-------------------------------------------
DieNow ver 3.6 - Released January 1st, 1999

If you're thinking to yourself, "What is a script" then
you should probably not be installing this program and
you should instead get a beginner script or just settle
with mIRC. This script is not intended to be extremely
helpful and user friendly, but is directed to people who
have a somewhat decent experience of working with scripts.
However, in the script there are several forms of help you
can get for various topics and you should be able to make
use of the script even if you are fairly new to mIRC. 
If you have questions and worries, I highly suggest that
you look through all the mIRC help files including mirc.hlp
and the mIRC FAQ. All these files come with DieNow v3.6

The development of this script started all the way back in
early 1996, where mIRC scripting was not as advanced as it
is today, but perhaps more popular and common since it was
fairly new. As of early 1999, I do not write mIRC scripts
any longer except for personal usage and I do not intend to
make future versions of DieNow with the latest mIRC features.
This version is merely a bugfix and a few-new-things release.
I have not included a lot of things that take use of the latest
mIRC features, such as sockets and themes. Basically, if you want 
a script that takes use of the very latest mIRC features and is very 
powerful, then DieNow is not for you. However, if you want a script
that has a lot of basic commands, entertainment and funny things
then try out DieNow. As of now, no addons are available for DieNow
but they MAY come at a later time, I won't promise anything now.
Remember that the script was intended to run using a white background
on all windows, and the black text as default font colour. Changing it
might make parts of the script messages hard to see, change at own risk.

This script was made for use in mIRC v5.41 and will NOT
work with any previous version, only mIRC v5.41 or later.
Please download the latest version of mIRC from the offical 
mIRC site at - http://www.mirc.co.uk/ - or http://www.mirc.com/

When you have a copy of the latest mIRC, and have unzipped all
the DieNow files into a directory, such as c:\dienow36 - 
then all you have to do is copy the mirc executeable 
(usually mirc32.exe) from your mIRC directory to the DieNow 
directory (like c:\dienow36).
Then run your mirc.exe in the dienow directory, and you are 
ready to go! The script will now start and connect to server.

Note that if a new mIRC is released, just overwrite the exe
file in the dienow directory, with the new exe file for the
new version of mIRC. The script should work with future versions
of mIRC, but it is not guaranteed. Use mIRC v5.41 with DieNow if
you want to make certain not to run into problems concerning mIRC.

Both the 16bit and 32bit mIRC can be used with DieNow, but the script
was written and designed with the 32bit mIRC for the use in Win95/98.
Therefore it is possible that certain commands, and options in the script
won't work while running it under a 16bit system such as Windows 3.1/3.11

me after reading through this readme file entirely and the DieNow FAQ.

Enjoy! Thanks for using DieNow . . . . The only way to go in IRC Land.
