At the same time it make it easier to find people's IP-addresses, for use with Internet games, and home pages.

It's included in the archive and will be installed together with AmiComSys. and Magic User Interface (MUI) version 3.8 or higher (The third party packages below is most certainly already installed on your Amiga.

History changes: 1.32 (25.03.2000) ----------------- NEW: New home page with secure online registration opened at http://www.parting.nu/AmiComSys/ NEW: Removed the 'new'-message button. The message text field is now located in the lower part of the main window, as it originally was in pre 1.25 versions of AmiComSys. I didn't like the 'new'-button implementation and I don't know anyone which actually did. BUG: removed a MuForce hit which did happen while a picture was displayed in the PChat window. BUG: It was not possible to click the status cycle box button to switch the active status, because it was draggable. NEW: New AmiComSysRegister utility in the Register drawer. Use this to register AmiComSys and decrypt the response you will receive by email when your registration have been processed. NEW: New version of amarquee.library (V50) included. NEW: New version of Toolbar.mcc and Toolbar.mcp (V15.6) included. NEW: New version of imagepool.library used by Toolbar.mcc included. 1.31 (01.02.2000) ----------------- NEW: Fixed the PChat picture so whole the picture is visible if it has a size of 400x400 or less. Pictures bigger than 200x210 get scrollers. High quality dither is used (AmigaOS 3.5). Status text show "loading picture ..." while loading and decoding the picture. The message requesters take the real font size in account when calculating the window size. Changed the layout of the new message window. Added "don't show any" to the "Put picture" cycle button in the Windows->Chat-settings. Select it to disable pictures in the PChat. The PChat picture is now put on the top right if it's set to to be put to the right in the settings. BUGFIX: In low memory situations when AmiComSys failed to open the main window it tried to change the toolbar layout. Removed it because it is of no use anymore when the toolbars is inside scrollers. The Show/Toolbars did not hide/show the toolbars under AmigaOS 3.5. Very rare the error message "Connection broken by sender" could show up at the end of a SendFile session. Sometimes it was not possible to click the "Download"-picture button in the PChat. At least on AmigaOS3.5 systems. Packed with a Y2K fixed LHA/LZX. The download of pictures in the PChat did not work on fast Amigas, like 68060 or so. There was a problem with the CPS-counter in the SendFile on 68060 machines. Had to change presentation to bytes/s instead of kbytes/s. This program is ShareWare. Version 1.32 (25.03.2000) Copyright 1997-2000 Håkan Parting
