address@hidden Installation
-
-ERC may be compiled and installed on your machine.
-
-This section may be skipped if you are using the version of ERC that
-comes with Emacs.
-
address@hidden Compilation
-
-This is an optional step, since Emacs Lisp source code does not
-necessarily have to be byte-compiled. It will yield a speed increase,
-though.
-
-A working copy of Emacs or XEmacs is needed in order to compile ERC. By
-default, the program that is installed with the name @command{emacs}
-will be used.
-
-If you want to use the @command{xemacs} binary to perform the
-compilation, you would need to edit @file{Makefile} in the top-level
-directory as follows. You can put either a full path to an Emacs or
-XEmacs binary or just the command name, as long as it is in the
address@hidden
-
address@hidden
-EMACS = xemacs
-SITEFLAG = -no-site-file
address@hidden example
-
-Running @code{make} should compile the ERC source files in the
address@hidden directory.
-
address@hidden Installation
-
-ERC may be installed into your file hierarchy by doing the following.
-
-Edit the @file{Makefile} file so that @env{ELISPDIR} points to where you
-want the source and compiled ERC files to be installed and
address@hidden indicates where to put the ERC manual. Of course, you
-will want to edit @env{EMACS} and @env{SITEFLAG} as shown in the
-Compilation section if you are using XEmacs.
-
-If you are installing ERC on a Debian system, you might want to change
-the value of @env{INSTALLINFO} as specified in @file{Makefile}.
-
-Run @code{make} as a normal user.
-
-Run @code{make install} as the root user if you have chosen installation
-locations that require this.

address@hidden Getting Started
address@hidden settings
-
-To use ERC, add the directory containing its files to your
address@hidden variable, in your @file{.emacs} file. Then, load ERC
-itself. An example follows.
-
address@hidden
-(require 'erc)
address@hidden lisp
-
-Once ERC is loaded, the command @kbd{M-x erc} will start ERC and
-prompt for the server to connect to.
-
-If you want to place ERC settings in their own file, you can place them
-in @file{~/.emacs.d/.ercrc.el}, creating it if necessary.
-
-If you would rather use the Customize interface to change how ERC works,
-do @kbd{M-x customize-group RET erc RET}. In particular, ERC comes with
-lots of modules that may be enabled or disabled; to select which ones
-you want, do @kbd{M-x customize-variable RET erc-modules RET}.

address@hidden Sample Session
-
-This is an example ERC session which shows how to connect to the #emacs
-channel on Freenode. Another IRC channel on Freenode that may be of
-interest is #erc, which is a channel where ERC users and developers hang
-out.
-
address@hidden @bullet
-
address@hidden Connect to Freenode
-
-Run @kbd{M-x erc}. Use ``irc.freenode.net'' as the IRC server, ``6667''
-as the port, and choose a nickname.
-
address@hidden Get used to the interface
-
-Switch to the ``irc.freenode.net:6667'' buffer, if you're not already
-there. You will see first some messages about checking for ident, and
-then a bunch of other messages that describe the current IRC server.
-
address@hidden Join the #emacs channel
-
-In that buffer, type ``/join SPC #emacs'' and hit @kbd{RET}. Depending
-on how you've set up ERC, either a new buffer for ``#emacs'' will be
-displayed, or a new buffer called ``#emacs'' will be created in the
-background. If the latter, switch to the ``#emacs'' buffer. You will
-see the channel topic and a list of the people who are currently on the
-channel.
-
address@hidden Register your nickname with Freenode
-
-If you would like to be able to talk with people privately on the
-Freenode network, you will have to ``register'' your nickname. To do
-so, switch to the ``irc.freenode.net:6667'' buffer and type ``/msg
-NickServ register <password>'', replacing ``<password>'' with your
-desired password. It should tell you that the operation was successful.
-
address@hidden Talk to people in the channel
-
-If you switch back to the ``#emacs'' buffer, you can type a message, and
-everyone on the channel will see it.
-
address@hidden Open a query buffer to talk to someone
-
-If you want to talk with someone in private (this should usually not be
-done for technical help, only for personal questions), type ``/query
-<nick>'', replacing ``<nick>'' with the nickname of the person you would
-like to talk to. Depending on how ERC is set up, you will either see a
-new buffer with the name of the person, or such a buffer will be created
-in the background and you will have to switch to it. Begin typing
-messages, and you will be able to have a conversation.
-
-Note that if the other person is not registered, you will not be able to
-talk with them.

address@hidden Special Features
-
-ERC has some features that distinguish it from some IRC clients.
-
address@hidden @bullet
-
address@hidden multiple channels and multiple servers
-
-Every channel is put in a separate buffer. Several IRC servers may be
-connected to at the same time.
-
address@hidden query buffers
address@hidden private message separation
-
-Private conversations are treated as channels, and are put into separate
-buffers in Emacs. We call these ``query buffers''.
-
address@hidden highlighting
-
-Some occurences of words can be highlighted, which makes it easier to
-track different kinds of conversations.
-
address@hidden notification
-
-ERC can notify you that certain users are online.
-
address@hidden channel tracking
-
-Channels can be hidden and conversation continue in the background. You
-are notified when something is said in such a channel that is not
-currently visible. This makes it easy to get Real Work done while still
-maintaining an IRC presence.
-
address@hidden nick completion
-
-ERC can complete words upon hitting @kbd{TAB}, which eases the writing
-of nicknames in messages.
-
address@hidden history ring
address@hidden history
-
-Past actions are kept in history rings for future use. To navigate a
-history ring, hit @kbd{M-p} to go backwards and @kbd{M-n} to go
-forwards.
-
address@hidden multiple languages
-
-Different channels and servers may have different language encodings.
-
-In addition, it is possible to translate the messages that ERC uses into
-multiple languages. Please contact the developers of ERC at
address@hidden@@gnu.org} if you are interested in helping with the
-translation effort.
-
address@hidden user scripting
-
-Users can load scripts (e.g. auto greeting scripts) when ERC starts up.
-
-It is also possible to make custom IRC commands, if you know a little
-Emacs Lisp. Just make an Emacs Lisp function and call it
address@hidden, where @code{NEWCOMMAND} is the name of the
-new command in capital letters.
-
address@hidden auto reconnect
-
-If the connection goes away at some point, ERC will try to reconnect
-automatically. If it fails to reconnect, and you want to try to
-manually reestablish the connection at some later point, switch to an
-ERC buffer and run the @code{/RECONNECT} command.

-'erc)} command can optionally go into @file{~/.emacs.d/.ercrc.el}.
-
address@hidden
-;;; Sample ERC configuration
-
-;; Add the ERC directory to load path -- you don't need this if you are
-;; using the version of ERC that comes with Emacs
-(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/erc")
-
-;; Load ERC
-(require 'erc)
-
-;; Load authentication info from an external source. Put sensitive
-;; passwords and the like in here.
-(load "~/.emacs.d/.erc-auth")
-
-;; This is an example of how to make a new command. Type "/uptime" to
-;; use it.
-(defun erc-cmd-UPTIME (&rest ignore)
- "Display the uptime of the system, as well as some load-related
-stuff, to the current ERC buffer."
- (let ((uname-output
- (replace-regexp-in-string
- ", load average: " "] @{Load address@hidden ["
- ;; Collapse spaces, remove
- (replace-regexp-in-string
- " +" " "
- ;; Remove beginning and trailing whitespace
- (replace-regexp-in-string
- "^ +\\|[ \n]+$" ""
- (shell-command-to-string "uptime"))))))
- (erc-send-message
- (concat "@address@hidden [" uname-output "]"))))
-
-;; This causes ERC to connect to the Freenode network upon hitting
-;; C-c e f. Replace MYNICK with your IRC nick.
-(global-set-key "\C-cef" (lambda () (interactive)
- (erc :server "irc.freenode.net" :port "6667"
- :nick "MYNICK")))
-
-;; This causes ERC to connect to the IRC server on your own machine (if
-;; you have one) upon hitting C-c e b. Replace MYNICK with your IRC
-;; nick. Often, people like to run bitlbee (http://bitlbee.org/) as an
-;; AIM/Jabber/MSN to IRC gateway, so that they can use ERC to chat with
-;; people on those networks.
-(global-set-key "\C-ceb" (lambda () (interactive)
- (erc :server "localhost" :port "6667"
- :nick "MYNICK")))
-
-;; Make C-c RET (or C-c C-RET) send messages instead of RET. This has
-;; been commented out to avoid confusing new users.
-;; (define-key erc-mode-map (kbd "RET") nil)
-;; (define-key erc-mode-map (kbd "C-c RET") 'erc-send-current-line)
-;; (define-key erc-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-RET") 'erc-send-current-line)
-
-;;; Options
-
-;; Join the #emacs and #erc channels whenever connecting to Freenode.
-(setq erc-autojoin-channels-alist '(("freenode.net" "#emacs" "#erc")))
-
-;; Interpret mIRC-style color commands in IRC chats
-(setq erc-interpret-mirc-color t)
-
-;; The following are commented out by default, but users of other
-;; non-Emacs IRC clients might find them useful.
-;; Kill buffers for channels after /part
-;; (setq erc-kill-buffer-on-part t)
-;; Kill buffers for private queries after quitting the server
-;; (setq erc-kill-queries-on-quit t)
-;; Kill buffers for server messages after quitting the server
-;; (setq erc-kill-server-buffer-on-quit t)

address@hidden history, of ERC
-
-ERC was originally written by Alexander L. Belikoff
address@hidden@@bfr.co.il} and Sergey Berezin
address@hidden@@cs.cmu.edu}. They stopped development around
-December 1999. Their last released version was ERC 2.0.
-
-P.S.: If one of the original developers of ERC reads this, we'd like to
-receive additional information for this file and hear comments in
-general.

address@hidden 2001
-
-In June 2001, Mario Lang @email{mlang@@delysid.org} and Alex Schroeder
address@hidden@@gnu.org} took over development and created a ERC Project at
address@hidden://sourceforge.net/projects/erc}.
-
-In reaction to a mail about the new ERC development effort, Sergey
-Berezin said, ``First of all, I'm glad that my version of ERC is being
-used out there. The thing is, I do not have free time and enough
-incentive anymore to work on ERC, so I would be happy if you guys take
-over the project entirely.''
-
-So we happily hacked away on ERC, and soon after (September 2001)
-released the next "stable" version, 2.1.
-
-Most of the development of the new ERC happened on #emacs on
-irc.openprojects.net. Over time, many people contributed code, ideas,
-bugfixes, and a lot of alpha/beta/gamma testing.
-
-See the @file{CREDITS} file for a list of contributors.
-
address@hidden 2003
-
-ERC 3.0 was released.
-
address@hidden 2004
-
-ERC 4.0 was released.
-
address@hidden 2005
-
-ERC 5.0 was released. Michael Olson @email{mwolson@@gnu.org} became
-the release manager and eventually the maintainer.
-
-After some discussion between him and the Emacs developers, it was
-decided to include ERC in Emacs.
-
address@hidden 2006
-
-ERC 5.1 was released. It was subsequently included in Emacs 22.
-
-ERC became an official GNU project, and development moved to
address@hidden://sv.gnu.org/projects/erc}. We switched to using GNU Arch as
-our revision control system. Our mailing list address changed as well.
