IRC4WIN v1.10BETA ===================== (C) David V.Elkind (FNELKIND@TAVOR.OPENU.AC.IL) aka JimmyPage, 1994 BWCC.DLL (C) Borland Intl. 1. OVERVIEW IRC4WIN is the MS-Windows (WINSOCK-compliant) version of the IRC client. The IRC (which means Internet Relay Chat) is the Multi-User Chatting system which became very popular and widely used by UNIX users. In the recent time there appeared IRC clients for various operating systems (such as MacOS, MS-DOS, and so on). The client you see is the attempt to make the Windows compatible, user-friendly IRC client. Hope you will enjoy it. NB: WINSOCK.DLL required in order to use this client. 2. THE COMMANDS UNIQUE TO THIS CLIENT At the present time, the client has only two unique commands: -SAVE - saves aliases to disk -LOAD - loads aliases from disk In the future I am going to add more commands. If you have any ideas, feel free to send me mail. NB: 1) The UNALIAS command with no params given, erases ALL the aliases created during the last session 2) SAVE command issued with no alias defined erases the aliases file 3) LOAD command ADDS (and not replaces) the aliases. 4) ALIAS command with no parameters lists all the aliases 5) if the file AUTOEXEC.IRC exists, it is loaded at startup if connected to server. File AUTOEXEC.IRC should be built from the IRC commands (one command per line) and should exist in the IRC4WIN startup directory (where IRC4WIN.INI and ALIASES.IRC files exist). 6)"~" symbol is replaced with Ctrl-G (Beep) The AUTOEXEC.IRC included in the package includes only one command : /load, which loads aliases if they were previously saved. 3. REGISTRATION INFO This program is NOT freeware, but SHAREWARE, so you can use it only for 30 days of trial period. If you decide to use it further, you must register it. The registration costs $50 for single user and $450 for site license. Registering will give you additional features (such as UNIGNORE command, DCC command and more comfortable interface). Registration will also disable some unpleasant effects, such as "Please register" dialog box that appears sometimes. How to register? Very simply: send cheque to the following address: DAVID ELKIND Yavne Road, 49/10 Rehovot 76344 I S R A E L W A R N I N G : By not registering the SHAREWARE products, you cause the people to think twice before spending hundreds of working hours and getting the headache which always accompany programming process. 8-) 4. CREDITS You may distribute this program freely as long as no charge is taken for it and as long as the code remains COMPLETELY unchanged and this file exists in the package. 5. BUGS? QUESTIONS? SUGGESTIONS? If you found bug, have a question, suggestion or whatever, feel free to E-Mail me at: FNELKIND@TAVOR.OPENU.AC.IL. Also you can catch me in the IRC (my nick is JimmyPage).
