- Hi,
-
- this is my port of ircii-2.8 for MiNT using MiNT-Net.
-
- It was compiled using gcc-2.5.8 with the MiNT library PL46, the
- socket library 0.72 and the curses/termcap library PL16.
-
- The default irc server in this binary is just `irc'. So you can easily
- put your default irc server in your /etc/hosts (if your nameserver does
- not define `irc.your.domain' for you). Here are some German irc servers:
-
- 129.13.99.15 irc.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de
- 131.188.61.13 irc.uni-erlangen.de
- 139.30.2.251 irc.informatik.uni-rostock.de
- 129.69.221.120 irc.rus.uni-stuttgart.de
- 131.159.0.51 irc.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
-
- Just choose your favourite irc server and put the name `irc' at the end
- of one line.
-
- This binary will also look into /usr/local/lib/irc/ircII.servers. There
- you can specify one or more of your favourite irc servers and an entry
- in /etc/hosts is no longer needed.
-
