--------------------------
|
|
What am I supposed to write into the :server field in RXIRC NAMES?
|
|
|
|
| You don't have a server? Check out the "servers.*" list which
|
|
| is available by ftp on cs-ftp.bu.edu in /irc/support/.
|
|
|
|
Why can't rxIRC have everything that ircII has?
|
|
|
|
Because ircII is a giant program that a lot of people have worked on
|
|
to be able to do all of that. rxIRC is a relatively little program
|
|
which I also want to stay that way, or it might get unpleasantly
|
|
slow in execution!
|
|
|
|
Strange says:
|
|
There is no /on because no one wants to code it. None of the people
|
|
who have worked on rxIRC NEED or WANT /on. :P
|
|
|
|
Why when I do something outside of rxIRC with /exec, or simply read
|
|
the /help files, the server signs me off?
|
|
|
|
In this case the evil ping goblin has bitten you. A particularity of the
|
|
IRC protocol is that the server expects your client program to reply to
|
|
a PING message it sends about every minute or so, when you have been
|
|
idle. When you start a command with ! or /exec, rxIRC is not able to
|
|
reply to the PING and the server closes the connection on you. Poof.
|
|
|
|
You have a bug, "/who -h *.il" doesn't work!
|
|
|
|
No, I don't have such a bug. The "-h" and "-s" options are specific
|
|
to ircII. They are NOT standard. It is the normal and natural way
|
|
to do it simply with "/who *.il". Or what about trying /local.
|
|
|
|
rxIRC crashes and then no communication software (like CHAT) works
|
|
anymore!
|
|
|
|
rxIRC should not crash, if it does please report that to me.
|
|
To unlock your machine in such a situation it is not necessary to
|
|
re-IPL it, instead just do "NUCXDROP REXXWAIT". "NUCXMAP" shows
|
|
what so-called nucleus extensions are loaded in your machine.
|
|
|
|
It tells me loader table overflow
|
|
|
|
Use 'SET LDRTBLS 10' in your PROFILE or in the RXIRC EXEC.
