| First of all, here are the requirements: |
Appearance Manager
Drag Manager
Open Transport 1.1 or later
If you're running MacOS 8.0 or later, all these things SHOULD be installed and it SHOULD work. (crossing my fingers).

If you are already a user of Mirabilis's ICQ client, you can also use your account in Gerry's ICQ.
- You must first get your ICQ Number from the Mirablis client.
- Then launch Gerry's ICQ and chose Use New Profile From Existing user... from the File menu.
- You will be prompted for a filename to save your user data file as.
- You will then be prompted for your ICQ number and password. When you enter them it will attempt to log you into the ICQ server.
If you are a new ICQ user, then select New Profile... from the File menu.
- A window will appear letting you enter all your personal info. Make sure to specify a password or it won't let you continue. When you're ready, press the Save button, and it should log you in and save your info.
- Then you can add people to your list that you wish to communicate with using the Find/Add Users window from the Edit menu.
- You can search for them by name or email address, or ICQ number.
You can CONTROL-CLICK on each person in your list to see what functions you can perform on them.
Open the preferences window (from the Edit menu) to set the default user that is automatically loaded when the Gerry's ICQ is launched.
You can also set the sounds for various events to any sound you choose. It will only play System 7 sound files (the ones that play from the Finder when you double-click them).
Some not-so-obvious features:
- To send Mass mesages, just select the people you want to send the message to, and double click them (or use the contextual menu, or the Actions menu).
- You can 'press' the Send button when composing a message using OPTION-RETURN or ENTER.
- You can 'press' the quotation button when composing a message which is a reply to another message by pressing COMMAND-". (I hope this works on non-american keyboards!).
- To use the Windows™ Character Translation, you must turn it on using the Actions menu and select "Settings..."
- To select only the users who are online, press SHIFT-COMMAND-A.
- Opening a user file with the COMMAND key held down will prevent the user from being automatically logged in. (This works when launching the application too.)
