MOTE: You MUST use binary mode to download the CSD file. If you fail
to use binary mode then installation of the CSD will fail.

This CSD file contains corrective service for the GammaTech Internet
Relay Chat Version 2.0 To install the corrective service, follow the
procedure described in the GammaTech Internet Relay Chat printed
manual.

NOTE: This CSD may only be applied to the commercial release of
GtIrc version 2.0 software. If you are running version 1.x or a beta
or demo version of GammaTech IRC do not download the CSD file
because you will be unable to install it.

Corrective Service files are cumulative. The latest CSD file contains
fixes found in all previous CSD files.

To determine if you should apply this CSD, go to an OS/2 command
prompt and CD to the GTIRC directory. From there execute the GtLevel
command. If the CSD level shown there is less than this CSD level
there are fixes here you may wish to install. A list of fixes and
their dates are shown below.

If while attempting to apply this CSD you encounter the error
message pop-up with the title which reads "Base Level Invalid", it
means that the version information stored in the INI files could
not be found. This information was placed there during the
installation of the base product, but is no longer there. You must
reinstall the base product and then apply this CSD.

If you are applying this CSD over the base 2.00 level of the product
then after installation of CSD 1996221 you will need to re-enter
information on the Settings, Query and Notify dialogs. If you are
applying this CSD to version 2.01 or later no changes are required.

             Changes and Enhancements in Version 2.03.0

* Added functionality for setting and using IRC variables via the
  /VAR command. These variables can be used in /Commands, CTCP
  reply overrides, and in REXX scripts. See the online help for
  additional information. Particularly the help for /VAR, Variables
  and in Script Programming the IrcRexxVariable() function.

* Added the IrcRexxVariable() function for use in REXX scripts.
  See previous note.

* Added a simple mass ctcp flood protection scheme that will block
  all incoming CTCP's if a flood is detected. The user is notified
  if this event occurs and it lasts for 3 minutes after which it
  will be deactivated permitting CTCP's once again. A later release
  will provide options to control this feature.

* The /Ignore command now permits you to purge the entire ignore
  list by specifying a single "-" as a parameter. i.e. /ignore -

* The /DCC Send command now permits path and file names with
  embedded spaces. However, a file name with embedded spaces will
  have the spaces replaced with underscore characters (_) at the
  receiving end.

* Corrected trap condition when an invalid DCC command is received.

* Corrected /DEOP command which failed to deop.

* Added /KLINE command.

* /KICK now permits multiple nicknames.

* Added /REXX command which is functionally equivalemnt to /SCR.

* The maximum DCC block size has been increased to 28KB. 4KB is
  still the default and the recommended value since the DCC
  protocol specifications limit it to 4KB. Using a larger block
  size may improve performance or it may cause problems.


             Changes and Enhancements in Version 2.02.0

* Corrected trap when joining some channels where the TS timestamp
  for channel creation is an invalid value.

* Corrected problem where some server notices were routed to the
  wrong window on ef_net if the user had a user mode of -s.

* Corrected problem where pasting of multi-line text in a DCC Chat
  window did not break the lines correctly and left carriage return
  and line feed characters in the text.

* Corrected trap when data was sent to a DCC Chat peer but the
  connection had not yet been established.

* ClientInfo CTCP now returns "SOUND" as an available option.

* /KILL now displays a message in the current window
  indicating the command was executed since this command does
  not reply with a standard acknowledgement.


             Changes and Enhancements in Version 2.01.0

* MultiMedia PM is no longer required. However, all MM sound support
  will be disabled if MMPM/2 is not installed.

* Up to 25 wav path's may now be specified in the sound dialog.

* Correct error in IP Address for outgoing DCC requests after a
  link failure has occured and the IRC client is reconnected without
  restarting it.

* Correct problem where nicklist leaves names in the list of clients
  who have signed off if signoff message suppression is requested.

* Support for nick names up to 30 characters long is now provided.
  This should correct the traps with dal.net IRC servers.

* We now format the URL message received by dal.net servers.

* Corrected problem where sounds could not be sent to channels with
  names greater than 9 characters in length.

* Correct problem where /OMSG causes the server to disconnect you due
  to flooding.

* Correct trap when a CTCP Sound message is received but a file name
  is not present.
