Unsupported or Unlisted Commands:
IRC commands which are not listed may or may not be fully supported depending on the
nature of the command. The command processor attempts to locate the command internally,
failing that, it looks for and alias, failing that, the command is passed directly
to the server as-is.
User List
Zipper! supports the notion of leveled users. That is a user may be assigned a certain
level and as such may be entitled to priviledges encoded within Zipper! Users are
defined by a level and a user@host type notation that conforms to the user@host system
in use by the IRC servers.
Server List
Zipper! currently supports a small server list comprised of the the server name and port
number. Grouping may be added later
Channel List
Zipper! supports a user definable "frequent" channels list.
Notify List
Zipper! supports a user definable notify list which can be accessed by either the /notify
command or by the notify list editor.
Ignore List
Zipper! supporst an ignore list system that is accessible via the /ignore command
or the ignore list editor. The ignore list supports variable ignorance...meaning
that you can selectively the messages a user sends. Ignore supports channel, private
message, notice and CTCP messages.
CTCP
CTCP's are implemented as a COMPLETELY user definable system. Normal CTCP events are
already included with the default resource files.
The CTCP system is accessible via the CTCP editor. CTCP's support user level,
and Nickname triggering.
Once triggered an action is executed.
Action which are listed as #internal are handled by code within Zipper!
Events
Zipper! supports IRC server event triggering. Events like CTCP's are user definable.
Currently Zipper! supports the following events:
ban : a user gets banned from the channel
chanmsg : any message is sent to a channel
deop : someone is De-Opped
join : someone joins a channel
kick : someone is kicked from a channel
part : someone leaves a channel
mode : a channel mode is changed
nick : a nickname is changed
notify : someone on your notify list joins IRC
op : somone is opped
privmsg : you get a private message
quit : someone quits IRC
topic : a channel topic is changed
unban : someone is unbanned from a channel
When the events are triggered, the following information (if applicaple) is made available:
User Level : the level of the user triggering the event
Channel : the channel where the event was triggered
Nick/User : the nickname/userhost of the user triggering the event
target : the target of the event
Script Actions (For Alias, CTCP, Event)
Actions support variable and function substition.
Actions also support multiple commands per LINE separated by " ; "
A script action is any irc command or commands (/command)
Actions may contain variable information or information obtained
by executing functions.
There are 2 types of variables, system variables, and user variables.
System variables are those which are made available as IRC runs and
contain various informtation about who set off CTCPs Events and so
forth. They also are used to access parameters given by the user, or
by triggered commands. They are accessed by using the "-$name" notation.
User varibles are created and set by the user as IRC is running and
are independent of ANY other variables. They are accessed by using the
"-%name" notation.
A set of simple functions are included to make things easier. Zipper!
however is intended not to include a rich set of internal functions, but
rather to make functions available by using external scripts and programs.
included are a few TCL scripts to perform some useful and some useless
functions, but mainly are for use a guide. They are accessed by using the
"-@" notation.
Current System Variable List:
fromchannel : channel triggered from
fromnick : nickname of user that caused trigger
fromuser : userhost of user that caused trigger
hostname : your host name
ip : your IP address
level : level of user that caused trigger
line : all paramaters associated with a trigger
myuserhost : my user@host
nick : my nickname
parm1-6 : user or triggered parameters
port : server port
realname : my realname
server : IRC server
username : my username
version : Zipper! version
In normal aliases, CTCP's, and events, fromchannel, fromnick, level, parm1-6 are
generally the only variables needed.
In the case of events, parm1-6 is generally additional information other
than the identity and location of the person that triggered the event.
In cases where there is a target, the target(s) will be contained in the "parm(s)"
In the case of aliases, parm1-6 is defined by the user on the command line
In the case of CTCP's, parm1-6 contain the first 6 words of the CTCP command $line
can be used to access ALL of the words and to send them to an external
program if they are needed.
Note that the 6 parameter limitation MAY be removed in the future if warranted.
Current System Functions:
add : add 2 numbers or variables together
chanlist : retrieve the list of people currently on a channel
level : get the level of a user
none : do nothing
rtime : get the time in CTCP PING format
run : run an external program and return its result
sub : subtract 2 numbers or variables
time : return the current time
Special Notes on functions, scripts, and variables:
ALL variables must be "clean." That is there must be at least 1 space
both before and after the variable name. This is because of the method
used for processing commands.
ALL functions must be "clean" of whitespace. This means that you cannot
embed spaces or into functions at this time. This limitation may be
removed in the future. As a work-around, you can "/set" a variable
first, then send it into the function.
DCC CHAT and SEND
Zipper! includes the ability to perform DCC CHAT and File Transfers.
The CHAT option is integrated (almost) fully into the standard window
system. DCC File transfers are actually handled by external programs,
but are still fully functional. Zipper! does not at this time
support the mIRC RESUME feature. The transfer system still needs
to be cleaned up a bit in its display, otherwise it should work
fine.
Channel Activity Indicator
The "windows" list in the Main Server Window, will indicate when
there has been activity in a window that is minimized or is not
currently focused on. The ">" before a window indicates that there
is a new message waiting there. Also any minimized windows that
have waiting messages will indicate this by the icon image.

Intro and Errata.
This software is COPYRIGHT 1997 Ashley R. Bowers. It is not Public Domain,
but you can use it freely, and give it away, as long as you preserve the
entire archive as is AND you do not distribute any changes that you might
make.
Zipper is a IRC client written primarily in TCL/TK and with a little help
from "C" every now and then. Zipper was started by me as project to help
me learn TCL/Tk and also because i wanted an IRC client for X-windows that
worked the way I wanted it too. It is not intended to compete with the
existing clients, but rather as an alternative.
Zipper currently is still missing a bit of functionality as far
as recognizing IRC server messages. There are also still quite a few
bugs present. Remember, this is ALPHA software. There are NO warranties
either expressed or implied!
At the current time it is relatively stable and i have used it on a
regular basis to connect to EFNet servers. It still crashes once in
a while but those time are becoming less and less.
Anyone that would like to tackle some of the bugs that you may encounter,
feel free to do so, but please email me with the fix so that it can be
incorporated into the distribution. Full credit for working fixes and
useful additions that are added to the archive will be given.
Installation
Installing Zipper! is a simple matter. You need 2 files. The "install" shell
script and the zipper*.tgz file. Running "install <directory>" where
<directory> is where you want to install zipper, will take care of almost
everthing for you! The only other thing you need to do is add Zipper!'s
directory to your path. Please note that for some reason Zipper! does
not want to fully recognize the new path, unless you log off and then
log on.
Zipper!
Ok, you are probably asking by now what Zipper! stands for. Well to
answer that question in one word: Nothing. I needed a name, a cute
catchy name, and Zipper! stuck in my head. It seems like that are
ton of other IRC clients that want to be cute and have "irc" somewhere
in there name. Well not so here!! :)
Zipper uses a simple point click and type interface. It functions in a
similar fashion the windows clients mIRC and Pirch. Currently only single
server connections are supported, although it is possible to clone
multiple client processes.
Zipper has working notify, ignore, dcc chat, dcc send and
receive, and a variety of useful irc commands (see customrc for currently
supported commands). The standard ircII slash ("/") command syntax is/will
be supported.
Coming soon
BETTER HELP :)
I will be adding more server message support and more IRCII commands.
Server event handling
better alias support with multiple irc commands per line
support for executing custom TCL scripts outside of the main program. (in progress)
Installation
To install Zipper! untar the archive into an empty directory, then type
"install". You will now be prompted for the directory in which zipper is
to permanently reside. Once you hit enter, the files will be installed
into the appropriate directory. If you later decide to move the files, then
you will need to reinstall zipper, or manually edit the paths in the files.
Once the files are copied, the Zipper! resource files will be installed into
your home directory. They are installed in a hidden subdirectory, but are
needed in order for Zipper! to be used by multiple people.
Now just be sure Zipper! is in your path, and type the command "zipper". If
all goes well, the main Zipper! window should appear.
Current Features
Please see the file FEATURES for this information.
End Stuff
Well, i know this program is not as good as it could be and has a number
of annoying problems which will hopefully be fixed. But use it and enjoy
it if you can, and let me know if you like it, or what might make it better,
or if there is just something you really don't like about it.
I want honest criticism, both good and bad, but please don't flame the program.
Send those to alt.flame, or /dev/null.
Thanks a Bunch!
