*** This is a BETA version * preliminary *** NetPlug An extensible, multi protocol, multi connection, network client. Currently with following plugins : + memory to remember favorite hosts/port (You click on new, enter "hostport", then when you double click, it fires a new connection on that host (eventually an irc connect if the irc light is on)) + Irc a complete Irc client, with classical "ircII" look & feel (see IRC.txt for more...) + Go client to play go on internet go servers. (see GO.txt) *** Read INSTALL.txt *** Some preliminary FAQ: --------------------- 1 copy/paste do work, it is just that paste (middle click) must be done with the pointer in the bottom entry. 2 You can change the fonts (and a lot of other things too) on unix using standard X ressources, ie like "Netplug*font: fixed" in your ~/.Xdefaults. See tk documentation for other platforms font changing (and tell me so I add the info here). 3 If you get an Error: font "-dt-interface" doesn't exist. It is because of some strange default font ressource in Motif/CDE/Solaris change the font for NetPlug (see "Q2") 4 you can change the colors of different widgets, for instance to change the text widget background: Netplug*Text*background: white 5 If you get Tcl errors, it is most probably that you have an old tcl version to check: at the wish prompt : % info tclversion shall return 7.5 or higher % set tcl_patchLevel shall return "7.5p1" or "7.5" or "7.6*" but NOT "7.5a*" (old alpha/beta release of tcl 7.5, buggy ! upgrade !) 6 Try shift-clicking to bypass configuration menus A note/trick: If you right click on the "New Connection" button, everything is reloaded, so you can modify, add plugins, change rc* parameters while keeping already open connections... ! [very useful for developping!] : you can now also simply select the "Reload" item from the "Plugins:" menu button ! feedback to dl@mail.box.eu.org If you want to keep in touch you can subscribe to the "netplug" list by sending to a mail body with just subscribe netplug YourFirstName YourLastName latest version and infos on http://www.box.eu.org/~dl/netplug.html Ps: see individual files for Copyright and License agreement
