- This is xchat V1.1 (Tue Sep 1 15:50:56 1992)
-
- Introduction:
- ------------
-
- Xchat is a general-purpose dialing and login program designed for use
- with Taylor UUCP as a "chat-program", taking the place (or augmenting)
- the built-in chat scripting facility. It provides the ability to
- closely control timeouts, multiple simultaneous expect strings with
- separate actions, extended terminal control, modem command character
- pacing, and more.
-
- When used in conjunction with Taylor UUCP's configuration features,
- xchat can provide you the ability to manage the most intricate login,
- dial and hangup needs. The scripts are written in a shell-like (well,
- sort-of) style with labels, commands, and parameters, easing the task
- of writing procedures for complex terminal communications situations.
-
- Installation:
- ------------
-
- (1) Copy xc-conf.h-dist to xc-conf.h, then edit xc-conf.h to reflect
- your condifuration. A description of the settings is in that file.
-
- (2) Copy Makefile.xchat to Makefile and edit it to set BIN to where
- you want xchat installed.
-
- (2) Do a 'make' to build xchat.
-
- (3) Do a 'make install' to install it.
-
- (4) Format and print xchat.8, and install it if you want.
-
- (5) Print out copies of the scripts in the ./scripts subdirectory.
-
- (6) Read xchat.8 and the scripts together.
