- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR AMITCP USERS
- -------------------------------------
- Installing socket.library:
-
- When using AmiTCP, install Grapevine just like for AS225. To use the
- program though you will need the AmiTCP socket.library by Henning
- Schmiedehausen. This socket.library is included in the Grapevine archive
- and is also available on the Grapevine support site.
-
- The socket.library requires you to set the @{b}ENV:SOCKETCONFIG@{ub} variable in
- order for it to work. Following is an example of the command you should
- use to set SOCKETCONFIG correctly:
-
- setenv SOCKETCONFIG 100 200 juser warped.com 022
-
- You can put this command in your s:user-startup file, amitcp:bin/startnet
- file, or just set it manually once and copy env:SOCKETCONFIG to envarc:.
-
- Sending a DCC request:
-
- Because of shortcomings in at least early versions of AmiTCP, the DCC
- clients that are currently included with Grapevine require you to have
- the HOSTNAME environment variable set correctly. The "hostname" command
- usually, but not always, returns the proper value. Put the following
- command at the end of your amitcp:startnet script:
-
- hostname > env:HOSTNAME
-
- The "hostname" command has been known to return "localhost" as the
- value because of a problem in AmiTCP, so this may not always be a
- clean solution for you. Contact the author of Grapevine for help
- if the above does not work right for you.
