rxIRC Installation Guide
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
To run rxIRC you need RXSOCKET 2 and REXXWAIT.
|
|
You don't need REXTCPIP anymore (Sorry Ken).
|
|
|
|
Before you start rxIRC you should edit the RXIRC NAMES file which
|
|
contains all the default values for rxIRC. Most important: the address
|
|
of your default IRC server host!
|
|
|
|
On VM/ESA systems you can try to obtain the ESA-Version of RXSOCKET,
|
|
or switch into the 370 mode (with SET MACHINE 370 and IPL CMS).
|
|
If you're lucky it will work from scratch even on those systems,
|
|
it's a question of how your mainframe is being configured.
|
|
|
|
When it tells you the TCPIP DATA file is missing, you probably
|
|
need to ACCESS (or even CP LINK) the appropriate system disk,
|
|
which is tipically labeled ('TCPIP'). Try 'QUERY DASD'.
|
|
|
|
When you see the whole internet address in people's messages
|
|
instead of just the nickname, or other similar weird things
|
|
you might have some improper ASCII/EBCDIC translation set up!
|
|
In that case check that STANDARD TCPXLATE and STANDARD TCPXLBIN
|
|
from your TCPIP system disk come before other * TCPXLATE files.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems/improvements/suggestions/etc. contact the rxIRC
|
|
mailing list rxIRC-l@vmtecqro.qro.itesm.mx.
|
|
|
|
You can subscribe to the mailing list with 'SUB RXIRC-L <fullname>'
|
|
sent to listserv@vmtecqro.qro.itesm.mx or LISTSERV AT VMTECQRO.
|
|
|
|
With the AFD and FUI commands you can get automatic information
|
|
about new releases of rxIRC from the LISTSERV. You can also decide
|
|
to look out for announcements of mine in the VMUTIL-L, alt.irc
|
|
or de.comm.internet newsgroups.
|
|
|
|
However don't expect frequent announcements. Changes to rxIRC
|
|
happen seldomly. I usually don't have the time for it. :(
