-QuEdit Howto v2-

New installation of QuIRC and QuEdit:

	Since this is your first time, you will have to make sure QuIRC
 	will load the quedit.tcl theme file.  Refer to QuIRC's
	instructions on doing so.

Upgrade installation of QuIRC and/or QuEdit:

	If you are not worried about losing your settings, you can delete
 	your quedit.tcl (and quedit.tcl.old if it exists) from the
 	~/.quirc/themes directory.  If you want to keep your settings, then
 	under the File menu choose "Load New default.tcl settings" and this
 	will source the new default.tcl and then re-load your settings on
 	top.  Therefor you will get all the new variables without losing
 	any that you changed.

Oh, I really screwed it up!:
	
	If you find out you want to trash all your settings and start
 	from scratch, choose "Reload default.tcl" from the File menu.
 	This will clear the quedit.tcl settings, and load the default.tcl
 	variables into memory.

Oh, I just fscked my FSETs!:
	
	Right now, this is a no-fix situation.  You will have to use the
	"Load Origional FSET's" to fix this.  This will take the FSET's 
	straight from default.tcl and use those.

How can I screw up the FSETs when I don't understand them!?:

	Agreed, the FSET display is far from comforting.  It even turns
 	me away, but with my knowledge, I have no other way to present
 	them to you. I do look forward to presenting them in a much
 	better way in a later version, maybe sooner then later.  Hynato
 	has offered me a few skeletal ways to do the layout, and I hope
 	to travel one of those paths soon.

And what if the program damages my system?:
	
	This program is provided as-is without any warrenty, written or 
	implied. Blah blah, use at your own risk (What risk?) and all 
	that exciting stuff.

And the license:

	Of course, it's GPL, and if you need to read the GPL, check out
 	the quirc.tar.gz. Hynato has it covered.

And if I want to contact you?:

	Of course you can reach me at axe@killinghand.org or axe@crown.net, 
	and the webpage is at http://www.crown.net/~axe/quedit
	This is a server at where I work, that I'm always on, so chances
 	are, if I'm at work at the time, I'll read your email pretty
 	quick.  And I should respond quickly too.  So send all your
 	questions on QuEdit my way.



- Changelog -
2.01
	A long-standing bug created empty variables when you hit 'Cancel'
	in tk_colorChooser. No more. Took 6k of code off with it.
	Made proc_ccov a 2-liner.
	Updated my Email addresses.
	Stripped debugging whitespaces
	Removed wasted -height and -width in framesets.
	Fixed variable usage in the Channel's entry bar.
	Changed most frames into listboxes for nicer display. -reverted
	Entry bars can be typed in, to verify you like your setup.
	Removed code that repeats per function to display the close/
	 disconnect/menu bar.  Put that into a function, making the 
	 code a bit nicer, and the program almost 6k smaller.
	Various cleanups in display usage.

2.00.00.5
	A silly oversite caused the nicklist settings to be off by 
	 one column in each segment.  
	Put all the fonts in their respective homes, instead of 
	 having a large menu for all fonts.
	Fixed the color display on nicks so they properly reflect 
	 the set colors.
	Added a mini-help so people can quickly see how to load the
	 custom theme they created.
	There is now a configure script for finding your wish binary
	 so you don't have to! :P
	Also, a run.me file, which will do all the grunt work for 
	 you. (configure, chmod, install)
	Frameborder size changed.  Makes it look a little better.. =]
	Fixed the text so it reflects which font you currently use.
	The FSETs are now in alphabetical order. (Thanks Looncay!)
	Now can change the location of the Whois.
	There are three font quickies and all GQ's have values now.
	Global Quickies have been merged into the main screen, and 
         set to come up at load.
	Global Quickies have a 'Set All global' button now.
	Window names appear in the title now.
	Changed 'Save As' to write the file in the theme directory.
	Fixed a missing Font display in the Channel Window.
	Made the fake channel display a little more realistic.
	Gave fontsel's Font Family a scrollbar.

2.00.00.4
	A nasty programming oversite caused the FSET's to be sourced
	 over and over again, effectivly doubling each time you re-
	 sourced or reloaded default.tcl and quedit.tcl.old.  This
	 has been fixed and there is also the ability to now just 
	 re-load the FSET's and nothing else, from the default.tcl.

2.00.00.3
	Changed the QuFont buttons to OK/Cancel.
	Put borders around the drop menus in QuFont.
	Fixed a variable clear condition with QuFont.
	Other super-minor unnoticable changes to QuEdit.
	Other super-minor unnoticable changes to QuFont.

2.00.00.2
      Changed style.tcl to default.tcl as required.
      Updated my address so they reflect the new homes of QuEdit.
      Fixed some typos in the help.
      Added in a simple font editor for peoples' pleasure.
      Fixed the scrollbar in the FSET menu.
      Added a giant page for most/all font settings.

2.00.00.1
      Patrick Earl was very nice, and took his time to look over the
	new QuEdit, and made it much cleaner, and much better looking.
  	My warmest thanks goto him.  He chopping 10k off (QuEdit2 is a
 	whopping 95k now, from a 105k) and he made the display 10x's
 	better.  Hopefully the new QuIRC and QuEdit will be hitting the
 	public soon.
      Due to Patrick editing the file, I been able to follow his
 	example and trim another 7k off, making it now 88k.
      Switched around the source and added more comments for easier
 	location and reading.
      Wrote up a basic help for the File menu and the Global Quickies
 	section.
      No longer using the quedit.data file.
      Ability to load a previous save of QuEdit data. (quedit.tcl.old)
      Ability to load a new style.tcl without losing old QuEdit
 	settings.
      More percise popups.
      Added a BUILD tag to the code and this document to better tell
 	minor revisions from one and another.
      Ability to load/save from/to any file.

.9.3.2
      Fixed broken variables, and added other new variables.
      Revamped the Global Defaults again.  It's now called Global
 	Quickies.  Read the help for more info on it.
      Added the default foreground selection.  This is used in places
 	like the CTCP, join/part/quit, and other foreground text.
      This version also looks bug-free and might be included in the
 	.9.8 series of quIRC.
      I will start looking into a easy way to change the font, though
 	this may take some time, and may not be in the next few versions.

.9.3.0
      This is for version .9.80 and up of quIRC.  DO NOT use if your
 	version is below this.
      A lot of changes happened in quIRC, a lot of variables were
 	changed, so this is a total revamping.  There may be bugs.
      You need to remove your quedit.data and quedit.tcl files from
 	your ~/.quirc directory before this version will work.

.9.1.2
      This (and previous) versions will only work with quirc .9.79 and
 	below! They are not compatable with eachother.
      Another spelling error donated by Multitude.
      The WindowList Foreground color does nothing, and shows nowhere,
	Removed.
      Added the 'set global' button to Global Defaults.

.9.1.1
      Spelling error that caused a color chooser to crash was fixed,
 	thanks to Multitude.
      proc_ccov didn't correctly use color values, for lack of using
 	variables. That is now fixed.

.9.1.0
      Oops again!. In the rush to fix the flury, I used the wrong
 	process for the advanced choice under the banlist.
      -ALL- Sections have been completely added.  That pretty much
 	ruins the Global Default section, but it's still there. All
 	that's left are font settings.
      A few broken variables were fixed, and a broken help (if you
 	could call it that) menu was fixed.
      Multitude pointed out a problem with only setting the global
 	variable in v.8.9.2 for background colors and the like, I hope
 	this to be fixed now.
      Changed the menu around a little bit.

.8.9.2
      Oops.  In the flury, I managed to forget to update the Quick Pick
 	for the Banlist.  That's now fixed.

.8.9.0
      Added The banlist settings, and the lag display settings. Doh!
      Cleaned a little more code up.
      Updated most all the Quick Pick sections to use a different color
 	setting scheme.
      Wrote some basic instructions at the top of the file.
      Added the ability to reload style.tcl defaults.

Pre-.8.9
      Started the QuEdit project with little to no knowledge of Tcl/Tk.
      Relied heavily on Patrick Earl and Foster-Johnson =]
      Threw together a ugly display of variables and settings which
 	were to be kept until version 2.
      Drastically improved my knowledge of Tcl/Tk, though it is still
 	minimal.
      My attempts at a editor weren't viewed as the most functional and
 	useful, so I was already thinking of a graphical way to do the
 	layout.
