4. ADMINISTRATIVIA
===================
4.1 Revision history
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is version 1.1 of this paper. Version 1.0 of the IRCprimer was
released in postscript form in June 1992 because I was sick of people
asking for an IRC or ircII manual (and it was a good way to learn
LaTeX!). During summer 1992 Owe Rasmussen did a very nice text
conversion of the paper. Due to the support and many remarks I got, a
new version is finally completed (special thanks to Olaf Titz !), along
with Owe's plain ascii conversion.
The primer is available in 3 formats:
IRCprimer.ps.Z: Postscript version
IRCprimer.txt: Plain text version
IRCprimer.tex.Z: Source code.
4.2 Release sites for the IRCprimer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The latest version of the primer can be found on the following ftp
