These are instructions to compile and run mbot. Please check the README for
further info.

PLEASE NOTE: I will not answer any questions related to unix environment, be
it copying and editing files, configuring crontab, whatever.

>> COMPILING

If you are upgrading from a previous install, first type

"make clean"

and read the ChangeLog and/or example.conf, because things change.

Then,

"./configure"

and if all goes well,

"make"

If compilation fails in your system, contact me so I can fix mbot. I hope to
get mbot up and running in all recent unix-likes. Currently, I know it works
on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

>> QUICKSTART

- Copy all ./example/example.* to ./bot_nick.* (one by one)

- Edit bot_nick.conf and configure it to your needs

- Edit bot_nick.users and change the mask in it (mirage!*mirage@*) to your
  own, like yournick!*@*, and *don't* touch or add anything else.

- Start the bot with './mbot -c bot_nick.conf'. Then, inside irc, do a 
  '/msg bot_nick !pass _dark'. Yes, "_dark" is the default password. It should
  say "Password correct". If not, try '/msg bot_nick !level' and make sure it
  responds with a "Access level 10, not identified.". If it doesn't, either
  the mask is messed up, or you removed the user system (module mainuser.so)
  from the configuration file.

- Now at least change your password with !setpass, and explore :)

- If something goes wrong, try running mbot with the '-d' option, which turns
  on some debugging output and prevents it from forking into background. Also
  don't forget to look inside mbot.log for error messages.
