Fixed bugs in this release:

1. Right-clicking the tray icon and selecting "Restore" did not restore the program, while double-clicking its tray icon did.
2. It turns out that the bug from version 1.01 that gives error 444 after hitting "Stop" and then "Start" was never actually resolved! Oops. Now it's reallyfixed. :)

New features in this release:
1. Users may now select their own chat line color. (Default is black). A list of included colors is available in the Colorstab.
2. The Chat History window has been completely rewritten.
3. As a result of the ability for users to select their own individual color, sending messages from the Chat History window can now have their own color.
4. The ChatRelayBot now uses the ISO date format. (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss)

I downloaded this bot and attempted to test it. A great work overall. I
had hoped to use it myself so that people could communicate across some of
the worlds I'm involved in, but:

1. The program doesn't include AW.DLL in the zip file. While I downloaded
it myself easily, the omission could cause new users to become confused
about how to obtain the file.

2. The help file doesn't give an overview about how the chat relay works,
and I might have to give up because I can't figure it out :( I sent a bot
to 50n 50e in Gulakon and stood at GZ and talked, but the bot didn't "hear"
me even though the relay system was supposedly online, and it didn't work
the other way either. I then moved the bot close to me and (obviously) it
could hear me, but the relay system didn't function - though I assume the
relay bot has some sort of checking to make sure that users aren't within
the normal chat range. Are you supposed to whisper to the relay bot
somehow? If so, is it even materialized in the world?

Help!

Yeah... it also seem that the bot doesn't want to start. It logs into the
world but than it won't relay the chat.

My mistake, this has now been corrected.

Hmmm. I get the same results as everybody else; I think I may know the cause of the problem and will release an update soon.

When a user speaks, the relay system runs through its list of users and checks their distance. If it is beyond 20m (the standard hearing limit) the CRB will issue a console message to the person(s) out of range. The bot uses Global Mode so therefore it does not need to be materialized in the world, so there is no way to whisper to it. The help file will be updated to show this as requested.

1.03 (Maintenance Release 1)

This maintenance release contains no new features, and resolves the bug in version 1.03 where the relay system was completely inoperable.

As requested, the help file was updated to describe how the relay system works in this bot.
