 This doc will hopefully get you running MCF 4.13 a little quicker.


   Ok, first of all, you need MCF. For the newest version go to
   http://home.ptd.net/~strdustr/MCF.html and download it
   with your favorite Browser( IBrowse is good).

   You should open this DOC and follow along as you install
   MCF.

   Double click on INSTALL_MCF.

   Now, follow the install script.

   Using Install, make a drawer in your AmIRC Drawer called MCF.
   Put your MCF OP's And Help Files in there.

   You should have a program called Play16 in your C:
   directory. If you don't, GET IT! from the Aminet.
   This plays all the sounds for MCF.

   You should have Say in your SYS:Utilities Drawer.
   If You Don't, GET IT!. This allows speach to be
   used with MCF. Also need narrator.device and translator.library.

   You can use the sounds drawer in AmIRC or make a new one
   which will contain your sound files for MCF.

   Use the same sound dirctory to place downloaded
   sounds into.

   Now the Option Switches.

   Automatically Join    	= 	Y/N    	N is recommended
   Auto Send Sound Files	=	Y/N    	Y is recommended
   Auto Get Sound Files  	=	Y/N    	Y is recommended
   File Server			=	Y/N   	N is recommended
   Auto Greets           	= 	Y/N    	N is recommended
   Auto Ops			=	Y/N    	Y is recommended
   Remote Commands       	= 	Y/N    	Y is recommended
   Sounds			=	Y/N   	Y is recommended
   Play Sounds           	= 	Y/N    	Y is recommended
   Soundfile Not Found   	= 	0 thru 9   4 is recommended for auto-get
   Speech			=	Y/N    	Y is recommended
   DalHelper			=	Y/N	Y is recommended if you use Dalnet

   Proceed installing MCF OP's and Help Files.

   MCF Aliases           	= 		  Y

   Now go online and start AmIRC.  Make sure that AmIRC
   has  AMIRC.1  in upper left corner of AmIRC window.
   Then click proceed. You should see some
   commands come up in the AmIRC Window.
   If you don't,  download the aliases archive from the
   MCF home page and follow included instructions.

   Proceed to assign MCF:

   Installing MCF ENV: to ENVARC:  = Y

   Docs                  		= 	Y

   Change the destination drawer to your MCF drawer.
   Then click proceed.

   Ok, that's out of the way. Now on to AmIRC.

   Load AmIRC if it isn't already.

   Go To           Settings/Setup with Right Mouse Button.

   Select Events.

   Find "JOIN:" on the left hand side.

   Under the Rexx Command, Enter "ENV:MCF_JOIN %p"

   Click OK.

   Now go to Settings and Save.

   Quit AmIRC and Reboot.

   Go Online again and start amirc. After you join,
   "Master Functions Now Loaded" should appear as you
   login.

   Click on your nickname in the User List and then click
   on the "VER" button below the user list.
   You're info should include a line about MCF , and
   should show the version number of MCF.

   If it does show, You did it.
   If it doesn't, ask someone.

   Now let's make a few things easier. With MCF you are
   able to send sounds to users, and receive sounds from
   users. We will set up a couple of buttons to do this.

   Go to settings again but this time select "Actions".

   Find an open "Label:" and enter "Snd2Nik".
   Under "Operation:" enter "/s ? %u"
   This will bring up a file requestor and allow you
   to send a sound to a person you have selected in the
   user list window.

   Find another open "Label:" and enter "Snd".
   Under "Operation:" enter "/s ?"
   This will bring up a file requestor and allow you
   to send a sound to evryone running MCF on your
   channel.

   That's Pretty much it.
   You should receive sounds if you don't already have them
   ,and send sounds to others.
   HINT: to listen to sounds you have, click on your own
   nickname and then on "Snd2Nik"

      Working on a DOC to help with MCF and AmIRC Commands.
   Hopefully will be done soon.
