1.1 ! root 1: This is xchat V1.1 (Tue Sep 1 15:50:56 1992) ! 2: ! 3: Introduction: ! 4: ------------ ! 5: ! 6: Xchat is a general-purpose dialing and login program designed for use ! 7: with Taylor UUCP as a "chat-program", taking the place (or augmenting) ! 8: the built-in chat scripting facility. It provides the ability to ! 9: closely control timeouts, multiple simultaneous expect strings with ! 10: separate actions, extended terminal control, modem command character ! 11: pacing, and more. ! 12: ! 13: When used in conjunction with Taylor UUCP's configuration features, ! 14: xchat can provide you the ability to manage the most intricate login, ! 15: dial and hangup needs. The scripts are written in a shell-like (well, ! 16: sort-of) style with labels, commands, and parameters, easing the task ! 17: of writing procedures for complex terminal communications situations. ! 18: ! 19: Installation: ! 20: ------------ ! 21: ! 22: (1) Copy xc-conf.h-dist to xc-conf.h, then edit xc-conf.h to reflect ! 23: your condifuration. A description of the settings is in that file. ! 24: ! 25: (2) Copy Makefile.xchat to Makefile and edit it to set BIN to where ! 26: you want xchat installed. ! 27: ! 28: (2) Do a 'make' to build xchat. ! 29: ! 30: (3) Do a 'make install' to install it. ! 31: ! 32: (4) Format and print xchat.8, and install it if you want. ! 33: ! 34: (5) Print out copies of the scripts in the ./scripts subdirectory. ! 35: ! 36: (6) Read xchat.8 and the scripts together. ! 37: ! 38: ! 39: Author: ! 40: ------ ! 41: ! 42: Robert B.
