> Introduction <

Thankyou for your interest in AFP 3b. Since so many people requested a newer version, I decided to continue with AFP. First off, I tried implimenting as many features as I could to make this addon as user-friendly as possible. Extensive error checking and many tests have been done to insure reliable protection for its users. Thanks for everyones support and I hope you enjoy AFP 3b for mIRC!

Note: Please don't modify AFP code without written permission from me.
