	VChat -- interactive TCP/IP chat system -- (c) 93/94 mickey@deadline
	====================================================================


   HOW TO INSTALL:
   ---------------

   This code has yet been tested on FreeBSD, SunOS and linux systems.
   The Makefiles of this package are designed for the net2 (BSD) make.
   On Linux systems normally only Gnumake is installed. A version of
   net2make for linux is available in the public Linux file archive
   at deadline.bln.sub.org (See info at the end of this document)
   Implementations for other Operating Systems are planned for future
   releases.

   Vchat consists of 3 parts:

   o vserver    -- TCP/IP Server doing all the communication between
                   the vchat client processes and the various vping
                   servers.
   o vping	-- The Ping server. This program notifies users of
                   chat requests from other users, and supports
                   various data for requests from vserver.
   o vchat	-- The VChat client program. The frontend to the
                   users screen.

   You will need the vserver _ONLY_ if no vserver is already running
   on your network. 

   To build and install all parts of the package, make all necessary
   changes to the file "config.h" in the top-level directory of the vchat
   package, then simply type:

	$ make depend

	$ make all

	$ make install

   After compiling and installing the programs you can start the vserver
   (if necessary):

	$ vserver &

   If you want to start the vserver at boottime, it can be run at boot time
   from your rc or rc.local file:

	vserver [options] &


   Start the vping server:

	$ vping &

   In case you compiled the Vping server to run under the inetd super
   server you will have to add the following lines to your /etc/inetd.conf
   and /etc/services files:

   inetd.conf: vping stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib{exec}/vping vping -l

   services: vping 1169/tcp    # Vping info server.

   If you have not installed the vserver because there is already a
   vserver running on your network, you should specify the hostname
   or IP-address of the vserver on the commandline of vchat:

	$ vchat -s <hostname>

   or

	$ vchat -i a.b.c.d

   ...or put it into your environment variables by typing:

	$ setenv VSERVER <hostname>

   You now should have a properly installed vchat.
