- If you are talking the ircII client you find that this wants a path to ircserv
- to know where to find its default script directory (with the latest version
- a keymap dir as well)
- The server needs just a config file and a motd file, which it keeps
- in the same dir.
- If someone can alter config.h for a client to get it to run, then config.h
- on the server source is a doddle.
