Ari's Yahoo Client v1.1
-----------------------
This is a simple Yahoo Messenger client that requires no windowing system,
and it therefore can be quite useful in situations where a minimal system
is being used or when a windowing system is otherwise unavailable or
unfeasible.
Ari's Yahoo Client is copyright (C) 1999 Ari Johnson, and this software
is protected by the GNU General Public License, which should have been
distributed along with this software as the file 'COPYING'.
If you need to contact the developer, please e-mail him at:
ari@lusis.org
If you modify or improve this software, be sure to notify the developer.
Yahoo Pager interface provided by yahoolib, as distributed with GTKYahoo.
To make the development process go quicker and to remove GTK and autoconf
dependencies in yahoolib.c, two #includes (for gtk/gtk.h and config.h)
were removed and all calls to snprintf were changed to work with sprintf.
Compiling Ari's Yahoo Client
----------------------------
To compile the program, you must first run the 'configure' script included
with it. It works just like any other GNU autoconf-created script to ensure
that you have all the necessary software to make Ari's Yahoo Client work.
Just go to the directory it was unpacked in, run the configure script
('./configure' should work), and then run 'make' and perhaps a 'make install'
if you so desire.
Using Ari's Yahoo Client
------------------------
The program is run like:
yahoo <username>
where <username> is your Yahoo! ID. You will then be asked for a password,
which will display as you type it. The program will then log you in to
Yahoo Messenger. The prompt consists of an ID followed by a colon (':')
and an area to type your input. If no ID has been selected, '<none>' is
displayed. Commands begin with a forward slash ('/'), and anything that
you type that does not begin with a slash is sent as a message to the
presently-selected Yahoo! ID. Incoming messages, status updates, connection
and disconnection notifications, and other things of interest will be
displayed.
The following commands are available:
/who Shows a list of buddies, with an asterisk ('*') before each
connected user and their status displayed when necessary
in square brackets after their Yahoo! ID.
/query <ID> Selects the given ID as the new target for messages, or, if
no ID is given, deselects the presently targeted ID.
/quit Quits the program and logs out of Yahoo Messenger.
