1) ZeroBot is a private bot. It was never distributed, and probably never will be. If you see it available for download anywhere, it's fake.
2) The link in the first post does not even work.

The link works for me, and the readme.txt file seems real, but I'm not going to run the .exe (I don't trust it).

Ah, works now. Stupid geocities.

This seems like the real chat gateway ZeroBot from 2000-2001. Good luck getting it to be useful with today's Battle.net (hint: it isn't).

But F15 is the leetest cause not all extended keyboards have it (they don't have the "Pause" key either... hrmmmm I wonder what a bot could use the Pause key for...).

[/quote]It's a weird keyboard... has 108 keys (109 if you include the power key). The tilde key (eg, ~ and `) is down near the left shift key, the left shift key takes up 2/3 of the normal space it should take up (because the tilde key takes up the other third), it has a weird key in place of the tilde key which has the characters ± and §. The backslash key takes up a third of the return key's normal space, and the return key extends up so that it takes 2/3 of its normal space as well as all of the space where the backslash key SHOULD be. The option keys are named with "Alt" (eg, PC naming convention instead of Mac, yet it has the command keys and the power button ???) and the left option (alt) key has "Gr" appended to it (have no clue what that means). It has the F13 through F15 keys, and lastly, the power button is "set down" (so its kind flush with the plastic surrounding it).

I was curious what Alt Gr was too, saw it on a keyboard recently.

Alt Gr stands for Alt(ernative) Graphic. It was originally, as you
correctly say, intended for additional keyboard characters, and many
layouts use it for that purpose, with the additional character being
shown to the right of the lower character on the key. The German
keyboard, for example, uses this key for superscript 2 and 3, square
and curly brackets, vertical line (|), backslash, tilde, at symbol
and mu (the Greek letter used for "micro" in units). This means it
can contain all the keys of a standard US/UK keyboard (except for the
pound sterling symbol) plus quite a few others (Umlaute, the "double
s" character, accents, circumflex, section symbol and mu).

It might help you to know that Windows interprets Alt Gr as Alt+Ctrl.
I use this fact in Word to assign additional symbol characters to it.
On your laptop you may be able to reassign some of the Ctrl key
functions to Ctrl+Alt, in effect turning the Alt Gr key into a second
Ctrl key. Some apps, like Word and WordPerfect let you assighn
keyboard shortcuts, or you could get a shareware keyboard mapping
program, which lets you (re)assign keys globally.
