INTRODUCTION
	
I wanted something with the colors of prevail and the functionality of
interspace so I decided to do my own script. I got alot of ideas
from different scripts, but from any code taken credit is given to the
author. Thanks to Hyralak, Kahonez, and all the people who gave me ideas
and tested it out for me. A HUGE amount of thanks to Youngdrow who coded
that killer sc for me and for the other stuff he did. More thanks to
#BitchX and the help they gave me, including shade, suicide, psykotyk,
(for letting me use one of his status bars from interspace) fiction, rwf,
[nutbar], oweff, and of course panasync for making the best client in all
of irc.

GETTING EMBRYONIC

One can find embryonic on a number of irc script sites, specifically
ftp://ftp.drow.net/embryonic. Another good source is #BitchX or #embryonic
on EFNet. (/msg void cdcc list)

INSTALLATION

1) If you are upgrading from an earlier version of embryonic, 
	rm -rf the old ~/em. 
2) Gzip -d and untar the embryonic file (embr**.tar.gz)
3) Make sure you didn't install as root. This will cause logging not to
work.
4) Load up BitchX and type /load ~/em/em.bx  this will load embryonic.
5) Installation is now complete.

GETTING STARTED

After you load the script you will want to configure it to your
own taste. 
	
	First type /config - setup behavior in channel .
	Then /format - configure format of msg's etc.
	Then type /color - to setup the color schemes

These will help you customize the look and feel of embryonic. (i.e. setup
different nick completions, channel behavior, etc.)
