If they are AutoIT scripts, all you have to do is go to AutoIT in your start menu, and select run script. Use the file open dialog box to select your script. If the script contains no errors, it will run. An AutoIT icon will appear in your system tray. You can use this to pause your script if you want. If there is an error in the script, a popup box will come up showing you the line where the error occured in your script.

Are there any other pass like autoIT?
And with autoIT then i've got to run ffxi and start the macro? Like getting close to water and run the fish bot?

And what is the difference between those programs who run the macro's?

When I run a script in ffxi, I always use the FFXI windower. This allows me to start up FFXI and go to the area where I want to use the script. Once I am there, I can set up the script without having to exit FFXI. If I need to change the script to fix a bug, I can stop it, edit it, and start it again with no effect on the game. This is in my opinion the best way to run scripts.
Another way to start a script once FFXI starts is the WinWaitActive command for AutoIT. It looks like this:
WinWaitActive("FFXiApp")
Im sure you've seen this if you have looked over scripts before. What this does is pretty simple. It pauses your script until the FFXiApp (The ffxi game window) window is active. I recomend using a sleep command after WindowWaitActive to give you some time to log in all the way and get to where you want the script to start.
Im not sure quite what you mean with the macro question. The AC Tools people refer to thier scripts as macros, and the AutoIT people refer to them as scripts. Whenever you run across a file with a .mac extension, it is for AC Tools. The extension for AutoIT scripts is .au2 or more commonly .au3. Let me know if I misunderstood what you were asking and i'll try to get it right.

AutoIT and AC Tools are just two different languages. AC Tools is designed to play asherons call, but has been used to script for just about any game you could think of. AutoIT was created to automate IT tasks suck as mass installations, but happens to be really good at controlling games. AutoIT is easier in my opinion to learn that AC Tools, but AC Tools has some slightly greater capabilities than AutoIT. Its really up to you wo choose a language to script in. Both are a good choice.
