An excellent book for channel operators and managers

Advanced Internet Relay Chat is an excellent book for those who need to operate or manage a internet relay channel. The book covers the following areas: aliases, popups, remotes and events, operator's status, advanced commands, splits and lags, dcc and sound, advanced PIRCH, advanced MIRC, VIRC, multiple channels and nets, web chat and other chat programs, scripts, bots, CUSeeMe, PowWow, Voice Chat, and internet teleconferincing.This is not a book for someone who wants to casually chat using IRC. It requires study and note taking, and it has many involved commands and optional arguments. If you want to just chat in IRC, use the help files that come with the IRC agent you decide to adopt.For the person who wants to manage a channel this book ties it all together along with copious discussions of hackers and those who would interrupt channel operations.I recommend this book to anyone who is seriously interested in running a channel and who is willing to spend the time studying the book to gain the advantage it represents.

Great book.

It's a great book. It's easy to understand and well written. It covers many things and covers them well.
