BCP Plugin Developer's SDK (Software Development Kit)
-----------------------------------------------------

The BCP SDK provides plugin developers with the latest information relating
to the BCP plugin standard.  Additionally, the SDK includes source code and
libraries designed to make writing plugins easier.

Directory Contents
------------------

- BCP.h
	A header describing the BCP plugin interface.

- BinaryChatCoreLite.zip
	BinaryChatCoreLite.dll is a stripped-down, redistributable version
	of the BinaryChat run-time library that encompasses all of the
	functions used by older BCPs.  This file can be included with your
	BCP-enabled application, but should be renamed to BinaryChatCore.dll.
	Only the unmodified version may be distributed, and no warranties are
	provided.  The full version of BinaryChatCore.dll is not redistributable
	and should not be replaced with the "lite" version.

- EmptyPlugin
	EmptyPlugin is a C++ framework for writing BCPs written by Yoni.
	It greatly simplifies the task by abstracting the plugin author from
	having to deal with the lower-level BCP interface itself, instead
	providing a high-level, easy-to-use class-based interface.  Although
	EmptyPlugin is provided as a Visual C++ 7.0 (.NET) project, it should
	compile under Visual C++ 6.0 and 5.0 without problems.

- PluginMenu
	PluginMenu is a static library for easy manipulation of a "Plugins"
	menu in the host bot.  A compiled library compatible with Visual C++
	7.0 (.NET) and source code are provided.

- TelnetServer
	This directory contains information needed to work with the
	TelnetServer.bcpx source input interface.  An example of a plugin
	that uses this is MSNClient.
