INTRODUCTION

This is a powerful Internet Relay Chat client program written using the  
Motif . It contains virtually all of the features that you would 
expect in a IRC client - Multiple windows session such as server message, 
channel message, private message query, DCC chat query, DCC send/get 
and more with a simple mouse operations. 
The integrated popup menu and the dynamic menu structure allows you 
to make easily and clearly to navigate this client.

Consider this software a beta release - the last version was alpha
(and contained at least one serious bug), but we are more confident that
eIrc is stable now.  This version has been in testing for quite a
while, and will probably lose the 'beta' sticker before long, too.

eIrc has been successfully compiled with gcc 2.6.3 under Linux 1.2.12 in
a.out format with motif 2.0.
We are interested in getting eIrc runs in other platform, so please help us.

Comments are welcome, please send us any suggestions.
coz you have for improving the program in any way.

INSTALLATION
------------
Installation of eIrc is very simple: 
Unpack the tar file: tar xzvf eirc-xxx.tar.gz or
                     gunzip -c eirc-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf ,
go to the eirc directory, and then you have to edit the 
Makefile to get the right environment of your system. Do
make install to install the server.list, *ini file and a.out file. You can
now edit or change the server.list, *.ini file on your $(HOME)/.eirc/ directory.
Type eIrc to run the client.
To complete the installation, you will probably wish to edit the
default configuration files and the application defaults file to
reflect your local configuration.
EIrc file contains default configuration file for color and fonts.
Good luck and have fun :)))
