+;This is a sample file showing how the autoexec system works
+;It came from http://code.google.com/p/miranda/source/browse/branches/stable/miranda/docs/autoexec_sample.ini
+
+;The goal is to provide a flexible ability for bulk-setting of many database
+;settings. This file does *not* become part of the database - it is only read
+;and imported by Miranda, then discarded.
+
+;Short intro to the capabilities of the Miranda database:
+;The database stores 4 different types of information:
+; 1) Contacts. These are merely structural, they don't actually store any
+;    info themselves. There is a 'me' contact and zero or more real contacts.
+;    Each contact contains settings and events.
+; 2) Settings. These are quadruplets: module name, setting name, data type,
+;    data value. More on these later because that's what all this is about.
+; 3) Events. History events and suchlike.
+; 4) Module names. An internal structure for space efficiency. Forget this, I
+;    just included it for completeness.
+
+;The autoexec system is for changing settings belonging to the 'me' contact,
+;because that's where all the preferences are stored. Nothing else can be
+;altered using this file.
+
+;You should probably get a copy of micronx's Database Wizard from
+;www.nortiq.com/miranda/ because that can display and change all the settings
+;in the database (including those belonging to the other contacts).
+
+;More on those quadruplets:
+;Consider, for example, the background bitmap of the contact tree. If you look
+;in the options you'll see that there are three basic settings controlling it:
+;Whether to use that or a solid colour, the filename to use, and a mass of
+;check boxes.
+;These three categories map on to three database settings that you can see
+;with dbwiz.
+;"CLC" is the module name, and "UseBitmap", "BkBitmap", "BkBmpUse" are the
+;setting names.
+;Clicking on the "UseBitmap" setting you'll see the final two parts of the
+;setting: type and value. In this case type is a byte, and the value is 0 or 1.
+
+;Everything is case sensitive, and the type of the setting is just as important
+;as its name. If you give a setting a type other than that which Miranda
+;expects things will go badly. There are five different types: byte, word,
+;double-word are the three numeric ones of various magnitudes; strings for
+;textual data; and blobs for variable-length binary data.
+
+;The encoding of "BkBmpUse" will probably have you baffled, so you can either
+;peruse clcopts.c to figure out what's going on or, far easier, set what you
+;want and just copy the value down.
+
+;Note about security:
+;This file clearly makes it possible to sneak in a change to a user's ICQ
+;login server, for instance, while you change their colour scheme. This could
+;be used to glean UINs and passwords without their knowledge.
+;Miranda has security in place that means the user will be warned before any
+;changes are made to the settings of modules that are not known to be safe.
+;The default settings and how to change them are documented in mirandaboot.ini
+
+;Note that some parts of Miranda won't notice changes on-the-fly, so it will
+;be necessary to restart Miranda before the changes take effect.
+
+;The example that follows, then, is a heavily annotated script to provide a
+;new background bitmap for the contact list and set the text colour to yellow.
+;It's assumed that you have packaged background.bmp in a .zip with this file
+;and provided the user with instructions to dump both files in their Miranda
+;directory.
+
+[CLC]   ;settings from here to the next change will apply to the "CLC" module.
+
+;Assign the byte 1 to the setting "UseBitmap". b stands for byte.
+;There must be no space around the equals sign or after the b.
+UseBitmap=b1
+
+;s stands for string.
+BkBitmap=sbackground.bmp
+
+;w is for word. The 3 I just copied out of dbwiz. It means stretch to width
+;and height.
+BkBmpUse=w3
+
+;Font0 is the 'standard contacts' setting on the list text options page.
+;Font0Col, therefore, is the colour setting of that font.
+;d is for dword.
+;The 0x prefix is signifying this number as hexadecimal. You can also prefix
+;0 to use octal, and negative numbers work too.
+;ffff00 you will recognise as yellow from your HTML experience.
+Font0Col=d0xffff00
+
+;--end of example--
+
+;There are two data types that haven't been used here: blob and delete.
+;Delete is easy: just use eg "BkColour=l" (that's a lowercase L). This example
+;causes the background solid colour to be the same colour as the users choice
+;for 3D objects facing straight on, eg most of the taskbar.
+;Blobs are of the form "Font=n03 f5 2a" where those are hexadecimal pairs
+;representing each byte to set.
+
+;The final thing to note is that there are settings that it is possible to
+;change using this file, but that you'll wreck consistency if you do so. It's
+;obvious the settings where this is the case, the typical example being
+;the whole CListGroups module. Luckily you don't want to change any of the
+;settings where this is a problem.

+

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

+                       Version 2, June 1991

+

+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

+                       59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA

+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

+

+                            Preamble

+

+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your

+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public

+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free

+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This

+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software

+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to

+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by

+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to

+your programs, too.

+

+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not

+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you

+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for

+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it

+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it

+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

+

+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid

+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.

+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you

+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

+

+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether

+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that

+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the

+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their

+rights.

+

+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and

+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,

+distribute and/or modify the software.

+

+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain

+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free

+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we

+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so

+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original

+authors' reputations.

+

+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software

+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free

+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the

+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any

+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

+

+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

+modification follow.

+

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

+

+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains

+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed

+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,

+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"

+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:

+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,

+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another

+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in

+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".

+

+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not

+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of

+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program

+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the

+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).

+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

+

+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's

+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you

+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate

+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the

+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;

+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License

+along with the Program.

+

+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and

+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

+

+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion

+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and

+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1

+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

+

+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices

+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

+

+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in

+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any

+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third

+    parties under the terms of this License.

+

+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively

+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such

+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an

+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a

+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide

+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under

+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this

+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but

+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on

+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

+

+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If

+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,

+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in

+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those

+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you

+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based

+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the

+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

+

+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest

+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to

+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or

+collective works based on the Program.

+

+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program

+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of

+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under

+the scope of this License.

+

+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of

+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

+

+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections

+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

+

+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three

+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your

+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete

+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be

+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium

+    customarily used for software interchange; or,

+

+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer

+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is

+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you

+    received the program in object code or executable form with such

+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

+

+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for

+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source

+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any

+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to

+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a

+special exception, the source code distributed need not include

+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary

+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the

+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component

+itself accompanies the executable.

+

+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering

+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent

+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as

+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not

+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

+

+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program

+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt

+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is

+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under

+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such

+parties remain in full compliance.

+

+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not

+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or

+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are

+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by

+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the

+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and

+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying

+the Program or works based on it.

+

+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the

+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the

+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to

+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further

+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.

+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to

+this License.

+

+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),

+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or

+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not

+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot

+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this

+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you

+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent

+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by

+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then

+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to

+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

+

+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under

+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to

+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other

+circumstances.

+

+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any

+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any

+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the

+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is

+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made

+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed

+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that

+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing

+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot

+impose that choice.

+

+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to

+be a consequence of the rest of this License.

+

+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in

+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the

+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License

+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding

+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among

+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates

+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

+

+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions

+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will

+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to

+address new problems or concerns.

+

+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program

+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any

+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions

+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free

+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of

+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software

+Foundation.

+

+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free

+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author

+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free

+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes

+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals

+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and

+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

+

+                            NO WARRANTY

+

+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY

+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN

+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES

+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED

+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS

+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE

+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,

+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

+

+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING

+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR

+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,

+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING

+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED

+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY

+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER

+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

+

+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+

+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

+

+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest

+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it

+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

+

+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest

+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively

+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least

+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

+

+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

+    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>

+

+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

+    (at your option) any later version.

+

+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the

+    GNU General Public License for more details.

+

+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software

+    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA

+

+

+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

+

+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this

+when it starts in an interactive mode:

+

+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author

+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.

+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

+

+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate

+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may

+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be

+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

+

+3. Troubleshooting

+------------------

+If you have problems with Miranda:

+

+a) Disable all plugins. If the problem is gone now, it was probably a

+   bug in one of the plugins and not in Miranda IM itself.

+b) Update to the latest alpha version.

+   We regularly fix bugs in Miranda IM. If you are having a problem it

+   might help to upgrade to the latest alpha version, maybe we already

+   fixed it. You will find the "Nightly alpha builds" in the "Development"

+   section of our website.

+c) Check the list of known bugs.

+   The official buglist is available at:

+   http://code.google.com/p/miranda/issues/list

+   Look here before you submit a new report, dont submit a new report if

+   it has already been reported.

+d) Submit a bugreport.

+

+
