known bugs regarding upp scripts:

- for people running windows vista/7, communication with the mp3 player is only possible
  if both the mp3 player and upp were started with the same credentials. if this is not the
  case (e.g. the mp3 player was started with the option "run as administrator", whereas upp
  wasn't), then upp will not receive any mp3 track changes.

- upp does not support profiles for multiple users or whatever. this is mainly because
  settings are closely tied to mirc.ini, which also only supports a single user. if you
  must use upp with multiple users, I suggest using multiple upp installs in different
  folders. note that using the backup/restore module, to some extent, a single user can
  maintain multiple 'profiles' of settings (e.g. having a serving/non-serving profile);
  the utility of such schemes however may be limited.
  
- upp does not support multiple connections to the same network using different nicks.
  this does not mean the application will crash if you do so, au contraire, most things
  are likely to work; however, when the queueing system has to send a file to someone on
  a certain network that you are multiply connected to, it will make a nondeterministic
  choice as to which connection to send the file from. Seeing as how similar scenarios
  may occur with other services and how the utility of multiple connections to a single
  network is very limited, I do not plan to support this any time soon.
  
- if you're running windows vista/7 and updating upp using upp_update.zip, make sure there
  exists a mirc.ini in the main upp directory (where mirc_upp.exe is located). use the
  mirc.ini from the full release file if need be; if there is no mirc.ini in the upp
  directory, mirc will use the "Application Data\mIRC" directory for its settings, which
  will likely cause problems somewhere in upp.
  
- the following themes are not utf compatible:
  - blue, default_black_noutf, default_white_noutf, excursion, lightblue,
    upp_anime_edition, water
  the following themes _are_ utf compatible:
  - default_black, default_white, mirc, polaris
  to make a theme utf compatible, remove high ascii chars (>127) from the nick bracket
  aliases. for a more detailed explanation on this process, see my post at:
  http://www.monkey-pirate.com/forum/index.php?topic=2311.0

- utf texts in fserve triggers, acros and such are supported, but inputting direct utf
  text in dialogs does not work. you need to pre-encode such texts to multibyte. if you
  have utf text on your clipboard, you can do this by typing "/cliputf". this will 
  replace the contents of the clipboard with the multibyte encoded version of the same
  text, which you _can_ use in dialogs.

- some of the nickserv/chanserv/memoserv options under the "services" channel popup menu
  might not be supported on all networks. also, regarding quakenet, if the nick you auth
  for is different from your actual nick, the only way is to hardcode it in the network
  settings (/dopen general -> networks -> edit quakenet -> services -> nickserv -> 
  set the "identify" command to "auth nickyouauthfor %pass").


known bugs for the dll's used:

- none of the dll's used contain viruses/trojans or whatsoever. if your virusscanner
  claims they do, then it is wrong.
- if mirc's option "dual monitor support" is enabled and mirc is shown outside of the
  primary display, then the popups from the popups.dll might display on the wrong
  monitor. this is a bug in the dll, as it does not support the "dual monitor support"
  option of mirc. popups from the popups dll are used to give right-click menus for
  certain dialogs.
- showing what video is playing currently (/show video) currently works with:
  - windows media player 6.4
  - media player classic
  - zoomplayer
  - bs player
- the mp3/winamp plugin works with:
  - winamp 2.x, 3.x, 5.x
  - foobar2000 0.9.x
  - itunes 4.7+, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
  showing what mp3 you are currently playing might not work if you are running multiple
  mirc clients, since the plugin will just choose a mirc client at random to send its
  information to.
- the mdx dll used to enhance dialogs requires internet explorer 4.x or higher installed.
- the motfv3 dll used for custom version replies does not work for serverconnections using ssl.
- the gtsdll that is used for retrieving bittorrent stats, has been discontinued by its
  authors, so /show bittorrent|bittorrent_totals might not work for many of the newer
  clients out there (although mutorrent _does_ work). also, some clients are supported
  but require dynamic config files that are not included in this release. see the gts
  site for such .cfg files or do a google search.
