ircII on Unix --------------

If you're on a Unix system, and aren't familiar with the nuances of ftp, uncompress, untar, the concept of Makefiles, etc. you may wish to try the auto-magic install which will do it for you. The foll. command at your Unix prompt will auto install an ircII client:

                 telnet sci.dixie.edu 1 | sh
 

or,

                 telnet installer.undernet.org 1 | sh
 

The unix ircII client takes up about 1.5Megs of disk space (including the help files). If you do not have enough diskspace, or have problems in compiling a client, you may try a precompiled client for your system, which is usually just 400K or so. To find out what Unix system you're on, use the command 'uname -a'. Once you do that, ftp the appropriate precompiled client from

               ftp.undernet.org        /irc/clients/compiled.

If you cannot spare even 400K for an irc binary, you may want to try the smallirc client which can be found at ftp.undernet.org under /irc/clients. This takes about 100-150K.
