This is xchat V1.1 (Tue Sep 1 15:50:56 1992)
|
|
|
|
Introduction:
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Xchat is a general-purpose dialing and login program designed for use
|
|
with Taylor UUCP as a "chat-program", taking the place (or augmenting)
|
|
the built-in chat scripting facility. It provides the ability to
|
|
closely control timeouts, multiple simultaneous expect strings with
|
|
separate actions, extended terminal control, modem command character
|
|
pacing, and more.
|
|
|
|
When used in conjunction with Taylor UUCP's configuration features,
|
|
xchat can provide you the ability to manage the most intricate login,
|
|
dial and hangup needs. The scripts are written in a shell-like (well,
|
|
sort-of) style with labels, commands, and parameters, easing the task
|
|
of writing procedures for complex terminal communications situations.
|

|
Installation:
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
(1) Copy xc-conf.h-dist to xc-conf.h, then edit xc-conf.h to reflect
|
|
your condifuration. A description of the settings is in that file.
|
|
|
|
(2) Copy Makefile.xchat to Makefile and edit it to set BIN to where
|
|
you want xchat installed.
|
|
|
|
(2) Do a 'make' to build xchat.
|
|
|
|
(3) Do a 'make install' to install it.
|
|
|
|
(4) Format and print xchat.8, and install it if you want.
|
|
|
|
(5) Print out copies of the scripts in the ./scripts subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
(6) Read xchat.8 and the scripts together.
