- Hi folx,
-
- first things first: AmyIrc is still Alpha soft, meaning, early development,
- more than half the planned features missing and the existing ones probably
- not quite what you'd call rock solid.
- The only reason you can get AmyIrc at all is that we got a soft spot in our
- hearts for other irc-addicts. It's better than raw irc.
-
- AmyIrc currently is a AS225R2 program. There are means to let it run
- on AmiTCP with Henning Schmiedehausens socket.library, but how you
- get that to run is _your_ problem.
-
- There might be a AmiTCP version of AmyIrc once AmyIrc proceeds into beta,
- but not yet. If you're an AmiTCP wiz you might consider offering to
- rewrite the network layer (it's pretty separate).
-
- AmyIrc now runs in a Console window (tested with C= console, KingCon1.3
- and some WSh). If you want irc with a GUI there's Grapevine.
-
- known commands:
-
- "ADMIN", works
- "ALIAS", /ALIAS newcmmd /msg foo eg (Commands need to begin with /)
- "AWAY", /AWAY without text sets you unaway
- "BAN", works somewhat
- "CHOP", works
- "CTCP", works
- "DCC", RSN
- "DEOP", works
- "IGNORE", not yet implemented
- "INVITE", works
- "JOIN", Note that a second join will NOT part you from another channel
- "KICK", works
- "KILL", not yet implemented
- "LIST", works partly
- "LUSERS", works partly
- "MODE", works
- "ME", works
- "NAMES", works
- "NICK", works
- "NOTICE", works
- "NOTIFY", not yet implemented
- "OPER", not yet implemented
- "PART", works
- "PRIVMSG", works. Thats /msg and channel-talk
- "QUERY", works
- "QUIT", works
- "QUOTE", a command isn't implemented yet ? use /quote <raw irc cmmd>
- "SHOW", will show all locally held info some time. /show channels eg
- "SQUIT", not yet implemented
- "TOPIC", works
- "TRACE", not yet implemented
- "UNBAN", works mostly
- "UNCHOP", works
- "WALLOPS", not yet implemented
- "WHO", works. You get to see all a who replies => talkative
- "WHOIS", works
- "WHOWAS" not yet implemented
-
- use /alias FUNCTION1 /join #Amiga to fooly automatically join #Amiga
- (or switch current channel to #Amiga) upon hitting function key one.
- Likewise SFUNCTIONx for shifted function key x.
-
- Cursor up and down scrolls history.
-
- ircrc file: gets fed to AmyIrc as if you typed the lines one by one.
- AmyIrc looks in env:ircrc for the name of the ircrc file, and after that
- in s:ircrc (but will happily run without as well).
-
- No windows and no lastlog yet.
-
- AmyIrc will never do scripting of the ircII type, but you will see
- an /AREXX <port> <otherstuff> one of these days. Likewise dcc will
- be a separate program that communicates with irc via AREXX.
