Archive-name: auto/alt.irc/no-subject-file-transmission


A postscript IRC introductory paper and manual has been available for a few
weeks now on some famous IRC ftp sites (nic.funet.fi, csd.bu.edu,
ftp.ucsu.buffalo.edu, coombs.anu.edu.au ...)
The file is called 'IRCprimer.ps.Z' and is about 300 Kb.
You can 'uncompress' it and print it on a postscript printer or use
a previewer (ghostview, psview...)

For instance, on unix systems you can type "zcat IRCprimer.ps.Z | lpr"
to print it, or with ftp if you don't want to keep a copy, in binary
transfer mode just type...
                 ftp> get IRCprimer.ps.Z "|zcat|lpr"

Unfortunately, I won't be able to release an ascii version or the LaTeX
code until october :(    (and I'm on holidays too *smile*)

Enjoy for the 2 cents it's worth, but DON'T flood my mailbox please !
Also, could someone correct the list of ftp site above and post some
nice advertisement on alt.irc ? (we don't get that fabulous newsgroup
at school :)

Happy holidays ...
