- Comment: I just found that compiling on our SUN SPARC with GCC produces
- code that dumps core.. (that might not happen on your machine, try it,
- we may have out-of-date libraries). See netnews gnu.gcc.bug for a dis-
- cussion about the matter. It seems that gcc passes struct's in a
- different manner.
-
- * Server configuration
-
- Edit the include/config.h to your hearts content, avoiding going
- beyond the warning line, unless you are *absolute* sure you know
- what you are doing.
- If you happen to not take to this warning, you may end up with
- a server that will not function properly and annoy not only you,
- but users all around the world.
-
- Old irc client can be found in this package and if you want to use it,
- check Makefile in directory irc before compiling. There are other,
- better irc clients in distribution and the client distributed with
- this version is simply something to begin with if you don't happen
- to have other clients available.
-
- This version was brought to you by jto@tolsun.oulu.fi and send any
- bug fixes and suggestions to me.
-
- NOTE: This server does *NOT* have MAIL system installed by default.
- The reason is that it doesn't work with many systems.
-
- This version introduces you string channels, starting with
- a plus (+) sign. The first person joining a string channel
- claims it's ownership and after that is entitiled to use /mode
- command. Ownerships can be given and taken away with
- /mode <channel> +o <nickname> and /mode <channel> -o <nickname>
- Other flags are: s - secret, p - private, l - limited, i - inviteonly.
- m - moderated, n - no private messages to channel,
- t - topic settable by operator only
- New command /KICK <channel> <user> kicks a user off channel.
