I received a question by email but the return address had
permanent errors, so I'll answer here :

3.3 doesn't have the contact list text file anymore :(

You can still use it though, but have to add your contacts
manually in the bot, it cannot take them from the browser
anymore. The 3.3 browser itself seems to remove the contact
list when it takes the contents over.

So this is what you can do :

Either (if you still have it) use the bot you had in your
AW 3.2 directory. It will still work.

Or, if you have upgraded and not newly installed :

- create a new directory
- copy aworld.ini (from your AW3.3) into it
- copy your old contacts.txt into it (the saved one)
- copy the bot and aw.dll there too

That should work, the bot now has all the files it needs.
Actually even an empty file with just the name "contacts.txt"
would do as well, as the browser doesn't update the file
anyway.


I hope this helps :)
