NOTE This is a horrible program. Do not take it as an example of a properly written GEM program or STiK program. However it DOES show how to access STiK and use a GEM interface, so it might be of use to a programmer wanting to know how STiK operates. Are there bugs... YES Could it be written better... YES But isn't that what most example code is really ;) If someone feels like taking this code and rewritting forecast. Go ahead. There is alot more info stored at the site than what is currently being used. You can use the port and address contained in the program and Telnet in and use the menu system to get an idea of what else could be done. So basically here is some code to a STiK application. Hopefully it will be usefull to someone. :) I hope this is somewhat more helpful, than the old SMTP code (which by the way I never got a copy of til after I wrote my own :/ ) And I'm fairly certain that it will be more useful that the old IRC kludge of STeve's (great credit should go to those that were able to decipher it's cryptic meanings) I would have liked to have done alot better dev kit for the beginner, unfortunately I don't have the time, so I've sluffed this off on you. :) Oh there was still being work done when this project fell into the cracks, so I know there is at least some code and info in the RSC that isn't in the release version. So don't be suprised. Dan
