rxIRC Installation Guide
========================
 
   To run rxIRC you need RXSOCKET 2 and REXXWAIT.
   You don't need REXTCPIP anymore (Sorry Ken).
 
   Before you start rxIRC you should edit the RXIRC NAMES file which
   contains all the default values for rxIRC. Most important: the address
   of your default IRC server host!
 
   On VM/ESA systems you can try to obtain the ESA-Version of RXSOCKET,
   or switch into the 370 mode (with SET MACHINE 370 and IPL CMS).
   If you're lucky it will work from scratch even on those systems,
   it's a question of how your mainframe is being configured.
 
   When it tells you the TCPIP DATA file is missing, you probably
   need to ACCESS (or even CP LINK) the appropriate system disk,
   which is tipically labeled ('TCPIP'). Try 'QUERY DASD'.
 
   When you see the whole internet address in people's messages
   instead of just the nickname, or other similar weird things
   you might have some improper ASCII/EBCDIC translation set up!
   In that case check that STANDARD TCPXLATE and STANDARD TCPXLBIN
   from your TCPIP system disk come before other * TCPXLATE files.
 
   If you have any problems/improvements/suggestions/etc. contact the rxIRC
   mailing list rxIRC-l@vmtecqro.qro.itesm.mx.
 
   You can subscribe to the mailing list with 'SUB RXIRC-L <fullname>'
   sent to listserv@vmtecqro.qro.itesm.mx or LISTSERV AT VMTECQRO.
 
   With the AFD and FUI commands you can get automatic information
   about new releases of rxIRC from the LISTSERV. You can also decide
   to look out for announcements of mine in the VMUTIL-L, alt.irc
   or de.comm.internet newsgroups.
 
   However don't expect frequent announcements. Changes to rxIRC
   happen seldomly. I usually don't have the time for it.  :(
