- Hi all - and thank you for downloading IRClient v0.15. Please note the
- following points to get the most out of your time:
-
- • Please make sure you change the default session or else you will be logged on
- to IRC as 'nobody' which is more than likely in use.
-
- • Please ensure that there is a system variable called 'Inet$HostName' which is
- set to be the name of your computer on the net. For example, when I connect
- via Exeter University's SLIP lines, my Inet$HostName is set to 'pcslipx'
- where x is the line number I'm on - this means that IRClient can ascertain
- your IP address - which is needed for the DCC transfers. If you have problems
- with this - set Inet$HostName to your IP address, eg 173.144.6.230
- This is probably best done in your SlipDial (or similar) script.
-
- • As of v0.14 DCC CHAT has been implemented, although not yet tested with a live
- connection! I am therefore expecting some major bugs to fix in the near
- future. To use DCC CHAT use the command '/CHAT nickname'. Any incoming
- DCC CHATs are automatically accepted. To send over a DCC chat connection use
- '/MSG =nickname message'. '/QUERY =<nickname>' works as well (I hope :-)
-
- • v0.14 also supports (very primitively) other extension applications - read the
- file Docs.Adding2IRC for more information.
-
- • Finally I have tracked down the DCC SEND bug!!!!!!! I'm surprised it worked
- at all - it should now work with any combination of computer and stack.
-
- • The version of DCC (Direct Client to Client) supports DCC SEND and DCC RECEIVE
- - that is, you may allow other people to read, or read other people's files.
- This introduces some security related issues - but if you are sensible you
- won't come across these. To send a file to somebody, simply drag it onto the
- IRClient icon or window. A bow will pop up prompting you for the recipient's
- name. Once you have pressed RETURN (or clicked on OK) the recipient will be
- asked if he or she wants the file - if they do the file will be transferred
- across.
- Similarly, if someone wants to send you a file, a box will pop up allowing you
- to drag it to a destination filer window as in a save box. If you don't want
- the file click on cancel.
-
- • Now read the Docs.Bugs file :-(
-
- Enjoy!!!
