@@ALL
|
|
If you are in /query mode, a text written with /all at the front will
|
|
be displayed as a normal convers text written to all users on this channel.
|
|
@@AWAY
|
|
/away sets an away-text for the other users. called with no additional
|
|
arguments, you are marked as being back again.
|
|
@@BEEP
|
|
(/beep /bell)
|
|
The beep command toggles a warning bell (^G) being sent before every message
|
|
coming from another user. This command really is a subset of the /prompt
|
|
command, see there.
|
|
@@CHAR
|
|
With this command, you can tell the convers deamon which type of umlauts you
|
|
prefer to use. The Syntax is /char [intype [outtype]]. For example, if you
|
|
work on an Atari st you could say: "/char atari atari". If you use a pc and
|
|
like to write your own umlauts in TeX style, "/char tex pc" may work. Use
|
|
"/char ?" to see a list. Play a bit around with this feature !
|
|
Special Thanks to Thommy, <dl9sau@zedat. fu-berlin.de> (Internet mail)
|
|
<dl9sau@db0sao.ampr.org> (AmPR-Net mail) who wrote this nice feature.
|
|
Suggestions to this feature should be redirected to him :-)
|
|
Your char-setting will be stored when using "/pers", see there.
|
|
Please notice; use the correct charset for your program, not for your type
|
|
of computer.
|
|
@@DEST
|
|
(/destinations /hosts)
|
|
All Pingpong hosts in the network being connected to each other are listed.
|
|
The numbers shown in the list are response times in seconds. Use "/d #" to
|
|
see another form of this list.
|
|
@@EXCL
|
|
(/exclude /imsg /iwrite)
|
|
The exclude command is the opposite of the /msg command. You can send
|
|
messages to all users on the channel except the one given as the first
|
|
parameter. Internally these messages are sent as private messages to the
|
|
users, so links are flooded a bit more :-)
|
|
@@FAID
|
|
Welcome to the convers, select the right conversion for umlauts (/char),
|
|
set your personal description (/pers)
|
|
and change (/join) to another channel of your interest, if you want.
|
|
Whith /who you get an overview of the channels, more help with /help.
|
|
Have fun.
|
|
@@FILT
|
|
If you don't want to read texts from certain users, you can set a list
|
|
of calls. Messages from this calls are discarded for you. The syntax is
|
|
similar to "/notify". E.g. "/filter + dc1ik - db4ut" adds the user dc1ik
|
|
to the filter and removes db4ut from the list.
|
|
@@HELP
|
|
(/? /help)
|
|
The help command may be invoked with an additional parameter. I believe you
|
|
hacked in "help help" to see this, right ? :-). better try out help options
|
|
that are followed by an additional command.
|
|
@@INVI
|
|
An invitation tho the named user is sent. The invite is passed through all
|
|
convers nodes in the net. If the user is on another channel, he will be able
|
|
to join your private channel. If he is in the commandinterpreter on a node,
|
|
he will receive the invitation message. In the latter case he will be unable
|
|
to join a private channel directly.
|
|
@@JOIN
|
|
(/channel /join)
|
|
Join another channel. Unlike other other conversd implementations Ping-Pong-
|
|
conversd supports multiple channel joins the same time. Thus the old channel
|
|
is not left. You may do this by invoking "/leave".
|
|
@@LEAV
|
|
Invoking this command you will leave the actual channel or the specified
|
|
channel. If the given channel is your last existence in the convers channel,
|
|
you'll quit the whole program.
|
|
@@LINK
|
|
The current link state is displayed. In the standard version, host name,
|
|
link state, link round trip times, neighbour revision codes and state time
|
|
followed by time of next try and count of connect tries (on disconnected or
|
|
connecting links) are shown, connected lines print out their queue length
|
|
and total transmit statistics.
|
|
If you are sysop, you may also set up or remove links at runtime.
|
|
Connection-info will be shown in brackets additionally.
|
|
Syntax: /l [@ host]|[[+]|[-] host [port [via]]]
|
|
With "/l @host" you are able to get info from host (not all versions support
|
|
this function).
|
|
@@LIST
|
|
All channels, their topics (if set), flags (if some) and users are displayed.
|
|
@@ME
|
|
If you want to display an action you take, you might use this command. E.g.
|
|
entering the line "/me yawns" all connected users in this channel will see
|
|
a message like: "*** dc6iq yawns"
|
|
@@MODE
|
|
The mode command is one of the most complicated ones. It is invoked with
|
|
/mode <channel> <+|-><t|i|s|m|p|l|o<name>>.
|
|
Flags may be a set of the following:
|
|
t - channel topic may be set by channel operators only
|
|
i - channel is invisible for users not on it
|
|
s - channel is secrect, only its number not displayed
|
|
m - channel is moderated, only channel-operators may talk
|
|
p - channel is private, invitation needed to join here
|
|
l - channel is local, no text forwarding to other nodes (NYI)
|
|
o<name> - make <name> a channel operator
|
|
|
|
The plus indicates an option to be set, a dash resets the option.
|
|
A combination of + and - is allowed so the following command will work:
|
|
"/mode 69 -s+todc6iq". Channel 69 is no longer secret, but topics may be
|
|
set only by channel operators. In addition the user dc6iq becomes a channel
|
|
operator.
|
|
Without parameters, the current settings will be listed.
|
|
On channel 0 it is impossible to set modes!
|
|
@@MSG
|
|
(/msg /send /write)
|
|
Send a text to one special user or a joined channel. If the message should
|
|
be redirected to a channel, The command must be invoked in this syntax:
|
|
"/msg #<channel> <text>". The adressee (if user) can indicate the private
|
|
character of the message due to additional asterisks in his received lines.
|
|
a mesage written by dc6iq to dc1ik looks like this: "/m dc1ik This is a Test"
|
|
will be received by dc1ik like this: "<*dc6iq*>: This is a test".
|
|
@@NICK
|
|
You can set your nickname to be displayed in front of your callsign. The
|
|
nickname is forwarded to other convers hosts. Use "/nick @" or "/nonick"
|
|
to delete your nickname.
|
|
@@NONICK
|
|
If a nickname is set, it is deleted. (same as "/nick @")
|
|
@@NOTI
|
|
You are notified if one person out of the notification list appears on any
|
|
channel in this convers. E.g. "/notify + dc1ik" adds the user dc1ik to the
|
|
notification list, "/notify - db4ut" removes him from the list. The list is
|
|
initially treated as if a plus "+"-sign was given, multiple lists may be
|
|
specified. The following command would be legal and would result in adding
|
|
dc1ik, db4ut and dg3kcr to the list, while removing dc6iq and dh2paf:
|
|
"/notify dh2paf + dc1ik db4ut - dc6iq dh2paf +dg3kcr"
|
|
Removing non-members to the list is ignored.
|
|
@@PERS
|
|
(/note /personal)
|
|
A brief description can be set up, accessible to all users via the "/who"-
|
|
command. A typical Message looks like this: "/pers Fred, Buechig, JN49fb".
|
|
The description can be deleted with "/pers @".
|
|
The digi stores up to 118 chars of this description and set it automatically
|
|
when you enter convers (the settings of "/char" and "/width" will be stored
|
|
and set on login, too). Storing is also possible with simply "/pers".
|
|
@@PROM
|
|
The prompt command takes up to four arguments in one concatenated string.
|
|
Thus "/prompt abcd" will set up "a" for the query prompt, "b" for the
|
|
standard prompt. "d" is the character to remove the prompt, and "c" is
|
|
displayed whenever a text is sent to you. Normally you make "c" a control-G
|
|
(beep char) and "d" a backspace or delete character (control-h or 0x7f).
|
|
@@QUER
|
|
The username given as argument will be the only recipient for all further
|
|
texts. They are send as private messages (just like /m). With no optional
|
|
argument, the further texts go into the whole channel again.
|
|
@@QUIT
|
|
(/bye /exit /quit)
|
|
Passing this command to conversd, you will retire from the famous Ping-Pong
|
|
conversation. I hope you enjoyed this stuff :-)
|
|
@@TOPI
|
|
A brief description of the channel topic can be set. Other users can look
|
|
it up with the "/who quick" or "/list" commands. If the channel number is
|
|
omitted, the topic will be set to the current channel, else to the desired
|
|
one. If no #channel is given, the topic will appear on the current channel,
|
|
if specified, the topic on that channel will be set (only if youre logged
|
|
on to that channel). To clear a topic, just try to set a topic like "@" :-)
|
|
An empty topic command diplays the current's channel topic.
|
|
@@UPTI
|
|
The uptime command tells us how long this conversd is up and running.
|
|
@@VERB
|
|
The verbose flag is toggled. You will be flooded with information if you
|
|
enable this feature.
|
|
@@VERS
|
|
Print out version information to this software.
|
|
@@WHO
|
|
(/users /who)
|
|
This command shows the users and has multiple options:
|
|
n [channel] tabular form (limitable to one channel)
|
|
a [channel] away-text listing (limitable to one channel)
|
|
l [channel] long listing (limitable to one channel)
|
|
u users detailed infos to specified users
|
|
* [channel] listing of idle-times (own or specified channel)
|
|
@ host to specified host limited tabular form
|
|
without option you get a brief listing ("/list").
|
|
@@WIDT
|
|
Tell conversd about your screen width. Then formatted messages will use the
|
|
entire screen. It is set to 80 by default.
|
|
Your width-setting will be stored when using "/pers", see there.
