1.) What is mates@track?
------------------------

mates@track (short m@t) is a little tool whiche shows you the online-/offline 
status of your LFS-buddies. It also displays the available servers of LFS and 
some statistics about tracks (e.g. world records) and you buddies (e.g. pb's
etc.).


2.) Installation
----------------

Extract all files of the zip archive into an empty folder. Start m@t 
by running the file matesATtrack2.exe.
If you have a firewall be sure to allow m@t to connect to the internet, 
otherwise m@t could not get the online status of your buddies.


3.) Short description: How to use m@t
-------------------------------------

In the main window there are two major sections. LEft there is the server list
and right there are your buddies listed.
Move the mouse over any button to get a short description of its function.

First of all click on the button "Settings..." to setup m@t for your needs. 
Choose the LFS.exe and customize the interval for checking the online status.

To start working, just create a group! To do so click the "Create group..." 
button. This is the the first button top left (just move over the button to see
its description)!
You are able to define different groups of buddies. To delete a group choose 
the "Delete group" button.

Use the button "Add mate..." - this is the first button middle left - to add your 
buddies to the list. It's very important to know the LFS world name of your buddy
and to type it correctly. Caution, the LFS world name is case sensitiv!
Otherwise m@t is not able to determine the online status.

Wait until the auto-refresh function updates the server status. It's only possible 
to get a new server list (on-/offline status) every 60 seconds.


This was a short description on how to use mates@track. For more information refere 
to the mates@track manual, which is currently in work.
If you have some suggestions, need help or have any mod for m@t write an email to
crazyice@crazyice.net.



But now have fun with mates@track, LFS online racer status!
