If you wanna get X-irc NOW !, you should get wafe (ask archie),
and link up one of the perl clients. Then you'll have X-irc.

I am trying to compile the IRCII server (2.7.1g) and I get an error

cc: Error on line 305 of ircd.c: function 'open-log' may not be declared

Can anyone help me with this? I dont know what it means...

Also, even though they are just warnings, I get several of them... all the same

Thanks for any help you can offer.. PLEASE REPLY via EMAIL and not by posting

Loud and clear here in beautiful San Francisco.

So, let me now post my ignorant guestion. I've heard of IRC, I know what it
is, and since I do attend chats on CIS and GEnie, I'd like to join in on the
GS_IRCat some point.

I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Until a few weeks ago, The Well
just provided access to newsfeeds, and I find I now have access to IRC and
FTP. I want to try both; FTP is described in FAQ. I've yet to try it. Is IRC
access described in te FAQ, and if not, how and when do I link up to the
rest of the world?

Thanks from this net novice...

I have been reading the scripts and code of vegard@hp825.bih.no and frechett@spot.Colorado.EDU and still profess confusion.  I admit to having tried to read 
the help files on line and get the hang of how scripts work but except for simple
obvious ones I admit my failure.  Of course a real manual with examples would be cool.

Anyway, I'll post my desires and have someone tell me how easy it is or how I should
assume the position and let the flamethrowers blast away.

1) I would like to be able to see new login to irc.  If this could be limited to only
logins from certain sites so much the better.  I usually only talk with people with
*.edu anyway.

2) I would like to be able to limit output from certain commands to just a fixed number
of lines.  For example, /who *.edu  goes on and on for pages.  Usually I just want to
see the latest loging (say the first 25 or 50 lines of output) and flush the rest or
something.

I hope this IS the right place to ask serious ircII questions and to get some help.  I would
hate to think we are all just going to do first-posts and flames for the rest of our
lives.  There is a lot of collective talent and knowledge in this group of readers.  Let's
share it !!!

Check your various settings.
My bet is that you have USE_OLD_MSG set which tries to send a MSG comand
to the server to talk to channels.  Note this is not the same as PRIVMSG
which is for sending private messages to people or channels.  All curent
server versions do not know the MSG command and ill ignore it.  They 
instead just make you send PRIVMSG to the channel you are on.

Probably in C or C++ or some other fancy language :-)

What do you mean by this ? The server is on constant upgrade :-)
The client also... I suspose you mean ircII (poor lame thing :-)

There is more client that ircII in life... You may also want to take
a look at the FAQ for alt.irc where there are quite a few (but not all)
client listed.

Hoping to get an answer to a probably trivial question.  I was experimenting with the
/ON command to improve the readability of /WHO output.  More specifically, I was just
interested in looking at the person's channel/nick/and ircname.

So ... I did an      /ON ^WHO  *  /ECHO $0 $1 $5-

Fine except all my output is jammed together without tab stops.
Anyone know how to direct the output from $1 etc to particular columns of the screen ??

Thanks :)

I often want to do other tasks while I am logged in on IRC.
  On X-Terminal this is not a problem, but I am often use a dial-up
line. 
  What I want to do: put IRCII in background and then have notify
me whenever someone sends a /msg to me.
so I was trying to use 
/on msg bla-bla /exec echo Bla-bla is msging you|write gorokho1
   The result was that "write cannot find you tty", even though
I am piping output of echo to write. Same was happening 
when I wrote tiny sh-script and was trying to /exec it.
It is posible that I am displaying my ignorance and there are
easier ways to achieve what I am trying to accomplish, or that
I have no clue how /exec works, still I hope I will 
get a reasonable answer.

Hmmmm ... I have been wondering for some time if there is a way to watch the logons
to irc ... is this an attempt to provide something of that sort ??  Is there an easier
way to snoop for logons ??  Is that why there is no notify with wildcards ??

And REALLY ... is anyone allowed to post serious questions to this group ??

Oh yes ... you are loud and clear at AUBURN UNIVERSITY in Auburn Alabama .. BO KNOWS !!!
