As IRC is used in many different countries, English is by -no means the only language. If you want to speak some other language -than English (for example with your friends), go to a separate channel -and set the topic (with /topic) to indicate that. For example - /topic Finnish only! -would mean that this channel would be reserved for Finnish discussion. -On the other hand, you should check the topic (with /list command) -before you move to a channel to see if there are any restrictions about -language. - On a channel not restricted by /topic, please speak a language -everybody can understand. If you want to do otherwise, change channels -and set the topic accordingly. - - -2) Hello/Goodbye - - It's not necessary to greet everybody on a channel personally. -Usually one "Hello" or equivalent is enough. And don't expect everybody -to greet you back. On a channel with 20 people that would mean one -screenful of hellos. It's sensible not to greet, in order not to be rude -to the rest of the channel. If you must say hello, do it with a private /msg. -The same applies to goodbyes. - - -3) Discussion - - When you come to a new channel it's advised you to listen -for a while to get an impression of what's discussed. Please feel free -to join in, but do not try to force your topic into the discussion -if that doesn't come naturally. - - -4) {}|[]\ - - IRC has quite a lot of people from Scandinavian countries, -the above characters are letters in their alphabet. This -has been explained on IRC about a thousand and one times, so -read the following, do not ask it on IRC: - - { is an A with 2 dots over it - } is an A with a small circle above it - | is either an O with 2 dots over it or an O with a dash (/) through it - [, ], and \ are the preceding three letters in upper case. - - There are a lot of people from Japan as well, who use Kanji characters -which may look quite exotic as well. As I don't know Kanji I don't -even try to explain any of the characters. - -5) ATTENTION! - - Remember, people on IRC form their opinions about you only by -your actions, writings and comments on IRC. So think before you type. -Do not "dump" to a channel or user (send large amounts of unwanted -information). This is likely to get you /kicked off the channel or -/killed off from irc. Dumping causes network 'burbs', connections going -down because servers cannot handle the large amount of traffic any more. diff --git a/manual.helpirc b/manual.helpirc deleted file mode 100644 index ed8cf9c..0000000 --- a/manual.helpirc +++ /dev/null @@ -1,287 +0,0 @@ -/************************************************************************ - * IRC - Internet Relay Chat, doc/MANUAL - * Copyright (C) 1990, Karl Kleinpaste - * - * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify - * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - * the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) - * any later version. - * - * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, - * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If one wishes to be known by a nickname which is not -one's login name, type `irc chosen-nickname' instead. - -** 4.1: Nicknames - -All users of irc are known to the system by a `nickname.' By -default, one's nickname is one's login name. Nickname clashes are not -allowed; this is enforced by the servers. If one's intended nickname -clashes with someone else as one enters chat, one will not be able to -complete entry to irc until one changes one's nickname to something -else. - -** 4.2: Presence on a channel - -Fundamental to the operation of irc is the concept of a channel. All -users are `on a channel' while inside irc. One enters the `null -channel,' channel 0, first. One cannot send any messages while in -channel 0 unless one has set up a private conversation in some way. -The number of channels is essentially unlimited - whatever will fit in -a 32-bit integer. - -** 4.3: Types of channels - -There are 3 channel types, with increasing levels of privacy afforded -them. - -*** 4.3.1: Public channels - -Public channels are channels 1-999. If one is on one of these -channels, one can be seen by all other users. Anyone can notice users -on a public channel and join such a channel's conversation. - -*** 4.3.2: Private channels - -Channels 1000-up are called `private' This means that, although -anyone can see that one is using chat, no one can tell what channel -one is using unless one is already on that channel with oneself. -Since the number of potential channels is in the billions, this is -quite some security - all one gives away is the acknowledgement that -one is using chat. - -*** 4.3.3: Secret channels - -Negative channel numbers are called `secret' While one is on a -hidden channel, no one who is not on one's channel with oneself can -even see that one is there. One's name does not show up in a list of -active users. The only indication of one's presence is that, when -entering chat, all new users are told that there are "N users on P -servers." If one checks on all users and finds less than N of them, -one knows that others are hiding on negative channels. But a hidden -channel user still cannot be found except by brute-force checking -through all channels, a hopeless proposition in the face of 10-digit -channel numbers. Security through obscurity finally means something. - -** 4.5: Conversations not using channels - -It is possible to conduct conversations with others without using the -formalized channel structure. Doing so requires that two people set -themselves up for private conversation using special commands; see -User Commands below. - -** 5.2: Screen activity - -Normal messages from other users appear with the originating nickname -in . Private messages arrive with the originating -nickname in *asterisks*. - -Other output (e.g., /who commands, invitations from other users to -join channels, and so forth) appears interspersed with other activity -on the screen. - -* 6: Command structure - -Ordinary text typed at irc is sent as one's messages to everyone else -on the same channel, modulo personal choices for private messages and -the like. Commands to irc itself all begin with a command character, -which is initially `/' but may be changed to any other character -desired. - -Commands may in general be abbreviated to a unique prefix. - -** 6.1: Leaving irc - -The way to get out of irc is to enter the /signoff command. "/si" is -sufficient. Also equivalent are "/exit," "/bye," and perhaps "/quit" - -** 6.2: Getting help - -Type "/help." Follow the instructions. - -** 6.3: User commands - -Other commands supported by irc are: - - help signoff who whois - list topic join channel - links msg invite summon - users stats nick away - info clear query - date mode kick - -*** 6.3.2: signoff - -/signoff exits chat. - -*** 6.3.3: who - -/who returns information on who is using chat. /who without arguments -prints info on all users that can be seen. Users of public channels -show up with their channel identified. Users of secret channels -appear, but they are specified as being on a private, unspecified -channel. Users of hidden channels do not appear at all. - -Giving a numeric argument to /who returns only those users of the -specified channel. This still doesn't show users of secret or hidden -channels unless one is actually on that channel. - -*** 6.3.4: whois - -This returns information about individual users. Say "/whois -nickname" to get information on the login name and host from which the -nicknamed user comes. - -*** 6.3.5: topic - -Channels can be given off-the-cuff "topics." Saying "/topic some -string of text" will associate that topic with the current channel. - -*** 6.3.6: list - -/list will give lists of active channels, the number of users of each, -and the topics therewith associated. Again, secret and hidden -channels do not appear. - -*** 6.3.7: join & channel - -/join or /channel are the means to enter a channel. Give a numeric -argument for the channel one wishes to enter. If this is a secret or -hidden channel, /who commands will show oneself and any other users of -one's channel. - -One's arrival on a channel is announced to the rest of the users -already on that channel. Silent, anonymous "lurking" is not -supported. - -*** 6.3.8: links - -/links lists the currently-active set of chat servers. Beware: this -list can be quite long, and will undoubtedly get longer as chat gains -wider use. As of 22 March 1989, about 15-20 servers is typical. - -*** 6.3.9: msg - -A single message can be sent privately to a certain user with /msg. -Type /msg nickname and the text to be sent. It will be sent privately -to the indicated nickname. - -*** 6.3.10: invite - -If there is a user online to whom one wishes to speak, one may invite -that user to join oneself on a certain channel. One types "/invite -nickname" with an optional channel number. The receiving user gets a -one-line message indicating the sender and the invitation. The -receiving user is free to ignore the invitation, of course. - -*** 6.3.11: summon - -An extreme form of /invite is /summon. "/summon user@host" will -request the user on the specified host to enter the chat system. Do -not do this unless one is fairly sure that one's request will be -welcome - it can be a fairly disturbing and sometimes irritating -intrusion. In order for /summon to work, the specified host must be a -connected chat server - one can't summon random people from around the -Internet. - -*** 6.3.12: users - -/users will return a list of the users logged into one's system. With -an optional hostname identifying a chat server host, the users logged -into that system will be listed. - -*** 6.3.13: stats - -This command returns counts of various protocol operations of one's -chat server. It is neither particularly useful nor interesting; it -was, at one time, a debugging aid. - -*** 6.3.14: nick - -One can change nicknames by issuing "/nick new-nickname." All users -on one's channel will be advised of the change. NOTE: If one enters -chat with a nickname clash (e.g., one's login name is the same as -someone else's, and the other user got there first), the system will -not let one enter until one issues a /nick command with a unique -nickname. - -*** 6.3.15: away - -Sometimes, one wishes to remain connected to the chat system, but one -must be elsewhere for a while. One can issue an /away command with -arbitrary text as argument, which will mark oneself as being away. If -someone sends an away'd user a private message (via /msg or in a -private session set up via /query; see below), the sender will get a -message back from the server indicating the away-ness and the message -which was set. - -*** 6.3.16: info - -/info returns information regarding the author and copyright of the -chat system. - -*** 6.3.17: clear - -At times, one wishes that one's screen weren't so cluttered. /clear -makes it so. - -*** 6.3.18: query - -This command is used to set up private communications `outside' the -normal channel system. - -When one enters "/query nickname," the indicated nickname is set up as -the sole recipient of anything which one types thereafter. Thus, if -user A executes "/query B" and user B executes "/query A," they have -set up a private communication between themselves. Significantly, it -remains possible for them to stay on their respective channels, which -need not be the same, and listen to whatever conversation is going on -around them as well, though they cannot respond to that ambient -conversation without leaving the private conversation they have set up. - -One leaves this private mode by issuing /query without arguments. - -** 6.4: Operator commands - -The chat system administrators on each host have additional -responsibilities and power over the configuration and operation of the -servers. The commands to do so are delineated below. - -*** 6.4.1: oper - -Users who have the potential for operator privileges initially invoke -those privileges by "/oper nickname password," where nickname is the -nickname under which operation is intended, and password is the -password known to the chat system for that nickname. - -*** 6.4.2: kill - -Obnoxious users had best beware the operator who's fast on the /kill -command. "/kill nickname" blows any given nickname completely out of -the chat system. - -Obnoxiousness is not to be tolerated. But operators do not use /kill -lightly. - -* 7: Questions, problems, troubles? - -Write mail to local irc coordinator. diff --git a/setenv.exec b/setenv.exec deleted file mode 100644 index efd9205..0000000 --- a/setenv.exec +++ /dev/null @@ -1,13 +0,0 @@ -/* SETENV EXEC - * Set an environment variable for C programs to access - * last change by Lynx_VM (244661 at DOLUNI1) on Sunday, 12 May 1991 - */ -address 'COMMAND' -parse arg n c; upper n -if n="" then - 'GLOBALV SELECT CENV LIST' -else if c="" then - 'GLOBALV SELECT CENV LIST' n -else - 'GLOBALV SELECT CENV SET' n c -exit rc
