Introduction to StuBot Professional: StuBot Professional also known as StuBot Pro, is an automated Win32 IRC (Internet Relay Chat client) - which can also be refered to as a "bot". StuBot is multifunctional and can operate as an infobot, or funbot. StuBot Pro has the ability to be taught things such as simple "what are/is?" question answers for example you can teach it the answer to "what is a computer?", so when it is asked it can reply with the appropriate answer. StuBot can also learn to reply to text it sees in a variety of ways from actions, to scripts, and sounds. StuBot also has a built in mathematics function, which allows IRC users to ask it what the answer to a simple mathematical equation is for example "what is 25*04/06-1975?". Other cool functions include a magic eight ball which allows users to ask "will", "could" and "should" questions such as "will I ever get a date with Angelina Jolie?", StuBot also supports the use of a script engine that now supports both VBScript and JavaScript which allows you to create, or download your own scripts for others in IRC to use straight from StuBot! This version of StuBot now has improved chat room/channel maintenance, and moderation capabilities - employing the ability to kick users that swear or flood in a channel, and if necessary - ban them. Also new to StuBot Professional is the ability to customize the speech database, from random responses, hello's and goodbyes, to random quit messages. On top of all these great features, StuBot allows you to set multiple level authorization for users on an access list, specify how fast it can respond (as though it types), have it make spelling mistakes, and have it call you by a more personal name. Not only does StuBot come with many great functions and features but the user interface has also been greatly improved and now supports the use of aliases, and popups, and can function as a standard IRC client! The user interface now comes with an internal "brain" editor, script/alias/popup editor, speech editor, alert window, and an internal notepad. PLUS! New to version 1.4 is support for plug-ins! You can now make or download plug-ins made with Visual Basic 5+ to use with StuBot Professional, so you can expand the program as far as your imagination - for example an email plug-in which would allow you to send emails straight from IRC! Of course, there are way too many features to list here, so to find out more... start using StuBot Professional 1.4 today! ******************************************************************** 2.
