+phpTOCLib version 1.0 RC1
+
+This is released under the LGPL. AIM,TOC,OSCAR, and all other related protocols/terms are
+copyright AOL/Time Warner. This project is in no way affiliated with them, nor is this
+project supported by them.
+
+Some of the code is loosely based off of a script by Jeffrey Grafton. Mainly the decoding of packets, and the
+function for roasting passwords is entirly his.
+
+TOC documentation used is available at http://simpleaim.sourceforge.net/docs/TOC.txt
+
+
+About:
+phpTOCLib aims to be a PHP equivalent to the PERL module NET::AIM. Due to some limitations,
+this is difficult. Many features have been excluded in the name of simplicity, and leaves
+you alot of room to code with externally, providing function access to the variables that
+need them.
+
+I have aimed to make this extensible, and easy to use, therefore taking away some built in
+functionality that I had originally out in. This project comes after several months of
+researching the TOC protocol.
+
+example.php is included with the class. It needs to be executed from the command line
+(ie:php -q testscript.php) and you need to call php.exe with the -q
+example is provided as a demonstaration only. Though it creats a very simple, functional bot, it lacks any sort of commands, it merely resends the message it recieves in reverse.

+-----------------------------------
+by Rajiv Makhijani
+(02/24/04)
+ - Fixed Bug in Setting Permit/Deny Mode
+ - Fixes so Uninitialized string offset notice doesn't appear
+ - Replaced New Lines Outputed for Each Flap Read with " . " so
+ that you can still tell it is active but it does not take so much space
+ - Removed "eh?" message
+ - Added MySQL Database Connection Message
+ - New Functions:
+ update_profile(profile data string, powered by boolean)
+ * The profile data string is the text that goes in the profile.
+ * The powered by boolean if set to true displays a link to the
+ sourceforge page of the script.
+(02/28/04)
+ - Silent option added to set object not to output any information
+ - To follow silent rule use sEcho function instead of Echo

+(05/26/04) beta 1 release
+ -Complete overhaul of class design and message handling
+ -Fixed bug involving sign off after long periods of idling
+ -Added new function $Aim->registerHandler
+ -Added the capability to handle all AIM messages
+ -Processing the messages is still the users responsibility
+ -Did a little bit of code cleanup
+ -Added a few internal functions to make the classes internal life easier
+ -Improved AIM server error message processing
+ -Updated this document (hopefully Rajiv will clean it up some, since I'm a terrible documenter)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+
+
+Functions:
+
+Several methods are provided in the class that allow for simple access to some of the
+common features of AIM. Below are details.
+
+$Aim->Aim($sn,$password,$pdmode, $silent=false)
+The constructor, it takes 4 arguments.
+$sn is your screen name
+$password is you password, in plain text
+$pdmode is the permit deny mode. This can be as follows:
+1 - Allow All
+2 - Deny All
+3 - Permit only those on your permit list
+4 - Permit all those not on your deny list
+$silent if set to true prints out nothing
+
+So, if your screen-name is JohnDoe746 and your password is fertu, and you want to allow
+all users of the AIM server to contact you, you would code as follows
+$myaim=new Aim("JohnDoe746","fertu",1);
+
+
+$Aim->add_permit($buddy)
+This adds the buddy passed to the function to your permit list.
+ie: $myaim->add_permit("My friend22");
+
+$Aim->block_buddy($buddy)
+Blocks a user. This will switch your pd mode to 4. After using this, for the user to remain
+out of contact with you, it is required to provide the constructor with a pd mode of 4
+ie:$myaim->block_buddy("Annoying guy 4");
+
+$Aim->send_im($to,$message,$auto=false)
+Sends $message to $user. If you set the 3rd argument to true, then the recipient will receive it in
+the same format as an away message. (Auto Response from me:)
+A message longer than 65535 will be truncated
+ie:$myaim->send_im("myfriend","This is a happy message");
+
+$Aim->set_my_info()
+Sends an update buddy command to the server and allows some internal values about yourself
+to be set.
+ie:$myaim->set_my_info();
+
+$Aim->signon()
+Call this to connect to the server. This must be called before any other methods will work
+properly
+ie:$mybot->signon();
+
+$Aim->getLastReceived()
+Returns $this->myLastReceived['decoded']. This should be the only peice of the gotten data
+you need to concern yourself with. This is a preferred method of accessing this variable to prevent
+accidental modification of $this->myLastReceived. Accidently modifying this variable can
+cause some internal failures.
+
+$Aim->read_from_aim()
+This is a wrapper for $Aim->sflap_read(), and only returns the $this->myLastReceived['data']
+portion of the message. It is preferred that you do not call $Aim->sflap_read() and use this
+function instead. This function has a return value. Calling this prevents the need to call
+$Aim->getLastReceived()
+
+$Aim->setWarning($wl)
+This allows you to update the bots warning level when warned.
+
+$Aim->getBuddies()
+Returns the $this->myBuddyList array. Use this instead of modifying the internal variable
+
+$Aim->getPermit()
+Returns the $this->myPermitList array. Use this instead of modifying the internal variable
+
+$Aim->getBlocked()
+Returns the $this->myBlockedList array. Use this instead of modifying the internal variable
+
+$Aim->warn_user($user,$anon=false)
+Warn $user. If anon is set to true, then it warns the user anonomously
+
+$Aim->update_profile($information, $poweredby=false)
+Updates Profile to $information. If $poweredby is true a link to
+sourceforge page for this script is appended to profile
+
+$Aim->registerHandler($function_name,$command)
+This is by far the best thing about the new release.
+For more information please reas supplement.txt. It is not included here because of the sheer size of the document.
+supplement.txt contains full details on using registerHandler and what to expect for each input.
+
+
+For convenience, I have provided some functions to simplify message processing.
+
+They can be read about in the file "supplement.txt". I chose not to include the text here because it
+is a huge document
+
+
+
+There are a few things you should note about AIM
+1)An incoming message has HTML tags in it. You are responsible for stripping those tags
+2)Outgoing messages can have HTML tags, but will work fine if they don't. To include things
+ in the time feild next to the users name, send it as a comment
+
+Conclusion:
+The class is released under the LGPL. If you have any bug reports, comments, questions
+feature requests, or want to help/show me what you've created with this(I am very interested in this),
+please drop me an email: pickleman78@users.sourceforge.net. This code was written by
+Jeremy(a.k.a pickleman78) and Rajiv M (a.k.a compwiz562).
+
+
+Special thanks:
+I'd like to thank all of the people who have contributed ideas, testing, bug reports, and code additions to
+this project. I'd like to especially thank Rajiv, who has done do much for the project, and has kept this documnet
+looking nice. He also has done alot of testing of this script too. I'd also like to thank SpazLink for his help in
+testing. And finally I'd like to thank Jeffery Grafton, whose script inspired me to start this project.
