   If your computer messed up from sand its not my fault 
   I(mexis) am not responseable for any thing this does 
   to the users(you) computer.
  
   If this script gets you k-lined from a net, kicked from

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Questions and answers

Q:  What kind of color does sand use?

A:   Sand is best seen with at 16-bit color 
     note: sand might look fucked any other way

Q:  Where can i get sand?

A:   You can get sand from #realmx on efnet 
     or http://cheesi.net/sand

Q:  I trie to load a theme but it messes up

A:    Well trie typing: /chelp theme 
      if you cant figure it out it might be a bad theme or you might 
      be an idiot

Q:  Why do people say I cant have a beta version when I did before?

A:    Sand use to be a publicly beta tested but its now privatly beta 
      tested because if there is a major error that might turn new 
      users of my script.

Q:  What kind of script is sand?

A:    Sand is a script made to please the user through addons, customizable 
      echo prompts, toggles, protections, and themes. 
   
      Sand contains low amounts of protection, just enough protection 
      to keep the user safe, no war, except for some old kill commands - 
      (ie ixkill (which can kill any user using the netcom IRC client). 

Q:  Why does sand's font look fucked up?

a:    Well sand uses gwte_437 - this can be fond in your c:\sand\misc 
      dir - copy this font into the c:\windows\fonts\ dir, if you're on
      windows 95, that is. If you're running nt or some other form of 
      windows i have no idea what your directories are, but the same 
      principal applies. 
   
      If that doesnt work then you suck! =)

Q:  What does sand have to offer? 
  
A:       well my personal favorites in this script are the clean 
         interface, the solid stability of the script, and 
         the great customizing features which I added to sand (these being
         the reasons why I created sand in the first place).

Q:  w00t#??%?$  h0w d0 1 f1nd 0ut c0mm4ndz f0r th1s er3ct shit?@!#$?@

A:       how about trying out that happy little command called 'help'.
         if you don't understand that, try /help or get off my script,
         cuz i hate you.

Q:  this theme shit looks pretty cool. how do i use it?
A:       well, try /theme to use the themes that came with the script.
         if you don't like any of those, go to my webpage - 
         (www.cheesi.net/sand - great scripts,addons,clients page! *ahem*)
         - and look for themes in there.  If you're *still* unhappy, you
         can make themes on your own, totally personalize the script to 
         fit your owns needs, and control whatever you see.  Thats the 
         beauty of sand, complete customization.
