IRCWav Release Readme

IRCWav is a quickie little Windows app I cooked up to expand
the sound functionality of mIRC.  Simply put, it will list all of
the WAV files in a directory and allow the user to double click
on one to send it to the active mIRC channel.

Installation notes:
Copy IRCWav.EXE to the desired directory, perhaps the same as
one you use for mIRC and add a shortcut to your desktop or some
other folder.

Execute IRCWav and select the Options button.  This will allow you
to create the INI file.  Refer to the help file for more information
about the Options dialog.

Upon executing IRCWav, it will look for an active copy of mIRC.
If mIRC is running, the Send button will be active.  If IRCWav
can not find a copy of mIRC running, the Send button will be
disabled.

WAV files may be selected by scrolling through the list or by
typing the name in the edit box.  As you type a name, the list
will scroll trying to guess where you are going.  This is handy
when you only *think* you remember the WAV file name. :)

Once the WAV is selected, you can press one of the buttons to
Play it (not sent to mIRC), Delete it, or Send it to the channel.
Double clicking on the list has the same effect as pressing the
Send button.

That's all for now, the rest should be fairly simple.

What NEW!!

4/15/96 - v1.2

If you had been running a previous version of IRCWav, it would be
best to delete the existing IRCWAV.INI and execute the Options
button again to create a new one.

Fixed bug where as, if a channel had no mode, but had a topic
mIRC would put a colon on the end of the channels name.  IRCWav
was using that colon as part of the send string, no wirky!

Added checkbox under the Options dialog to close IRCWav after the
WAV command is sent to the client.

Fixed the 16-bit help file.

Added 3D controls to 16-bit version, this requires CTL3D.DLL in your
Windows\System directory.

3/30/96	- v1.1 16 and 32 bit releases

Most of this release was bringing the 16 and 32 bit source code closer 
together to make things easier on me! :)

Added a few things to the Options dialog which allow the user to select
the IRC client they wish to target.  This allows 16-bit IRCWav users to
target the 32-bit version of mIRC and vice-versa.  Don't know why you
would wanna do this, but it was requested. :)

3/24/96 - v1.0b 16-bit ported release

IRCWav now comes in two flavors Win16 and Win32.

The 16-bit version requires that you are using the MIRC.EXE

The 32-bit version requires that you are using the MIRC32.EXE

These two are not interchangeable in this release!

3/23/96 - v1.0b fixed version for mIRC v4.0
Provided a work around for the /sound bug introduced in v4.0 of mIRC.
Unfortunatly, for the time being, IRCWav will only send sounds to
an active "channel" and not to a query or DCC chat session.  This will
be fixed soon! :)

Fixed the DCC send so it doesn't fail if your DDC send dir is not
the same as your WAV dir.

3/19/96 - v1.0 Release 32-bit version

3/2/96	- Beta 4
New menu layout to make room for the new DCC feature.

You may now DCC the selected WAV file to another user.
Pressing the DCC button, will bring up a list of nicks in the
CURRENT ACTIVE CHANNEL.  Select a nick and press send, or
double click on a nick to have IRCWav DCC the file.  If you
want to send the file to a nick who is not on a channel, simply
type the name in the edit box instead of selecting from the list,
then press Send.

The help file has not yet been updated to reflect these changes. :(


1/6/96	- Beta 3
Added ability to insert WAV file name into the tag text.  In the
options window, simply insert a '@' character whereever you want
the WAV's file name to be inserted.  For example, if you had
selected to play a WAV name DING.WAV the following would occur:

Example Tag Text	: plays @ for the channel
Text Sent to mIRC	: plays DING.WAV for the channel

Help file is now included in ZIP.



12/30/95 - Beta 2
Recommendation: Delete previous versions of IRCWav.INI

Changes to user interface.

Added Refresh, and Help buttons.  The refresh button will refresh the
wav list, as well as refresh the state of the Send button.

The Help button is there.. the help is not... ;)

Added the Options dialog and hooked up a few basic functions.  Upon
the first execution of this version, press the Options button, make
any desired changes and press OK.  This will create a new INI file.

Tested with mIRC32 v3.9.




12/28/95 - Beta 1
First public release, includes on very basic functionality.
Supports only mIRC32, tested with v3.8
Requires manual manipulation of the INI file (see IRCWav.INI for details)
