Introduction

AmiComSys is an AMarquee client program which you use to communicate with
other people on a tcp/ip-net - e.g Internet. At the same time it make it
easier to find people's IP-addresses, for use with for example Internet gaming,
and homepages.

Now you can say Hi! to your Amiga buddies on the net, or just see if they are
connected, or why not find now friends? AmiComSys could be the place where
the Amiga community stick together. 

You can:
* send text messages
* send chat requests
* send WEB-requests.
* transfer files.
* have a public realtime chat
* have a private realtime chat, with photos.
* check your Pagoo message box.

Please put it in your WBStartup drawer and enjoy ...
Then it will automatically connect to the server when you connect to the Internet.
