Thank you for trying FastChat 0.95!
This is a preliminary release. I dare not call it "Beta" because I'm fairly
certain that it is close to bug-free, however I wanted to get it out to y'all
so that I could get some feedback and maybe find some new bugs before the
"final" release version.
The documentation is also a little sketchy so bare with it, please. Please DO
read it though, as it's taken me about a week to get that thing together and
proofread it adequately...now I know why people are so sensitive about RTFM
questions!
After you run FCConfig you can try out FastChat in local mode by typing:
FASTCHAT /LOCAL
Everything the sysop types will be echoed in the user's window as well. If
you have selected the External page bell make SURE you run PageRaC first or
else you will get a runtime error....
FastChat may chirp two or three times when testing it locally, due to the
absence of EXITINFO.BBS. This can be safely ignored, as when a "real" user
pages, this file will be present. If chirping persists, make certain you have
the exitinfo.bbs directory in the configuration specified correctly.
I hope you enjoy FastChat. Send any comments, suggestions, bug reports, etc
to Peter Hebert at 1:135/57.

ps: FastChat can "safely" be LZEXE'd and it is recommended that you do so for
space saving concerns. Compresses slightly over 50% I think . . .
Always Remember:
If all else fails, read the documentation...
