Hi there,

this is a VERY crude "port" of ircu 2.9.32 for AmigaOS.

There are two versions of the executable, one compiled as a hub server, one
as a leaf.  Both are compiled with "-m68020 -O".

To install

- you need ixemul and ixnet V45+

- create a directory for all this stuff and assign IRCD:
to it.

- modify ircd.conf according to your needs.
Note: You MUST do it, just using the default
file simply won't work.

- the tricky thing:  ircd does it's own DNS lookups.  You must assign ETC:
to somewhere (in case some package hasn't done this already) and put a file
"resolv.conf" there.  This can be a copy of AmiTCP:db/resolv.conf, but
note:

  1) the keywords must be written in lower case
     letters (i.e. "nameserver 1.2.3.4" instead of
     "NAMESERVER 1.2.3.4"), otherwise the resolv.lib
     will not recognize them.

  2) ircd does "flood" all specified nameservers
     instead of querying them in order. So to be nice,
     just specify your primary DNS server there,
     to avoid excess traffic.

- start the thing with "ircd" and be happy.

If the files "ircd:users.log" and/or "ircd:opers.log" exist, the ircd will
log logins and /OPER calls there.

This is compiled with a modified channel.c which allows IRCOPs
to mode +o themselfs on every channel.

Use this thing on YOUR OWN RISK.  No testing has been done.  It will ruin
your harddisk, overheat your CPU and all that.  You have been warned.
