(DanW) we are having a storm here. I just heard some thunder. (MarkH) I'll be right back (DanW) if the storm gets close, I may disappear! (ClausBerg) ...a disk containg ew leters for some of the Texas-kids, they'd met. (DanW) I don't like having the computer on when lightning is striking nearby (MarkH) You got mail from texas kids? (MarkH) Ginny Young in Hawaii just emailed me with problems getting on IRC... she has a class full of kids I think (ClausBerg) Tomorrow we're invited to an interview at the local radio (broadcasting) It's broadcasting us directly - 'on time'. The two Pakistan girl will be joing this (ClausBerg) If you leave, dan, then bye... (ClausBerg) Mark, yest it was from Burleson (?) bky.tenet.edu (I think) (DanW) I hope the storm is going the other way. . . (MarkH) If you get hit by lightning Dan, then bye... (MarkH) teee heee ;-) (DanW) thanks, mark! ;-) (ClausBerg) Can the lightning get through to us here at the other end ;- ( (MarkH) I think the TENET folks are told that they are not supposed to IRC (MarkH) I hope not Claus! I hope not! (DanW) I'm also running the air conditioner--the humidity is about 99% (ClausBerg) We didn't IRC with them, just usesd email (MarkH) Yes, I understnd about just e-mail... I was just thinking outloud... (MarkH) hang on another message from Ginny (DanW) The texans are uptight about dirty words. IRC scares the s*** out of them! (DanW) Mark is lucky--he can go read mail without leaving IRC (ClausBerg) Also we have an appointment with a local jounalist from a Newspaper about our recent events in email and IRC (DanW) Claus> great! (ClausBerg) I have captured all the IRC-logs and of course printed all our recent greetingmail (ClausBerg) We had so many letter, that we filled 3 large 'bulletin boards' (wall), so that everyone can read.. (MarkH) Ginny is having a few problems (MarkH) I am not sure she ever fully installed the line in her LOGIN.COM file which defines the IRC program (MarkH) I got my pictures taken for my Visa today :-) (DanW) Mark> then she may be able to start IRC with: run IRC (MarkH) ok... I will tell her that Dan (DanW) Is Ginny on a Unix system? if so, forget what I said (ClausBerg) mak, will the Client software also run on a UNIX. Don't remember what's said about that in the IRCHELP# (MarkH) no... ginny is on a vax (MarkH) Yes Claus... you can get the Client for a Unix syste, (DanW) Claus> there is a version of the client for UNIX, different from the VMS vax version (ClausBerg) I'm also on a VAX, but it's not our own, and the Client installation went wrong, so I'm using the Vienna-mashine now. (MarkH) the client didn't install properly eh? Have you mad any attempt to get help? (MarkH) made any attempt, that is. (DanW) Note: Vax can be UNIX--our unix machine is a vax (MarkH) hmmm Dan... this I did not know (ClausBerg) In fact, 'School's database Service', which runs Skole-KOM has it's own UNIX-mashine, which we might easier get some Client working on... (ClausBerg) Our VAX is running VMS 5.5 (?) (MarkH) Well Claus, the source for the Unix version of the client is listed in IRCHELP1 (ClausBerg) I'll take a look at that wonderfull IRCHELP1 again! (DanW) Claus, yes I know your machine is Vax VMS, but I was wondering about Ginny (MarkH) I think Ginny is also running VMS... because she was able to follow the instructions in IRCHELP1 for the VMS Client (well... with a little help that is) (MarkH) where is RichN, Delwynne and Thailand!? *** Change: beam has joined this Channel (#kidlink) > Greetings to the 0000 GMT KidLink Chat!
