Welcome to the latest version of Os2Chat (ver 1.1). Os2Chat
is a smaller, faster, and easier method of communicating via UANet than
IRC and more flexable than talk. This tutorial will familiarize you to
the many features available.
NOTE: OC, and Os2Chat all refer to the Os2Chat Server.
1. What is Os2Chat?
2. What is needed to use Os2Chat
1. What is Os2Chat?
Os2Chat was designed as a multi-user interactive chat system,
much like IRC. However, OC is much smaller (21 maximum connections) but
incrediably fast. OC is also easier to use with single character commands
and easy to use help features. Also, OC is very reliable. To date, The
Os2Chat has never crashed nor experienced a single net split.
2. What do you need to use Os2Chat?
The major difference between IRC and OC is that Os2Chat is
clientless. This means that no special programs are needed to effectively
use Os2Chat.
Although there is no clients needed to use Os2Chat, it is recommended.
If you have an INTERNET client, it is highly recommended that you use it.
Please do not use an IRC client, where as you will entrap yourself in the
Os2Chat.
Os2Chat is FREE, which means I do not require ANYTHING for the use of this
program. You may freely distribute it, as long as you charge nothing more
than the cost of transmitting it to someone, OR the cost of a floppy.
The cost should NEVER exceed $1.50.
An os2chat, talker, mud, client will soon be available.
