If the B<-nickname> option is not given, these environment variables

|
|
path ending in "emacs", such as "/usr/bin/emacs"), icb will use emacs
|
|
editing mode by default, otherwise it will use vi mode. However, the
|
|
default I<system.icbrc> contains "oset editmode emacs" which overrides
|
|
this variable. To use the environment, add "ounset editmode" to your
|
|
I<~/.icb/icbrc>.

=head1 AUTHORS
|
|
|
|
ICB is based on Sean Casey's ForumNet ("forum" or "fn") 0.10, with his
|
|
permission. The new name was devised by Mark Giaquinto and John Atwood
|
|
DeVries. The actual code here is based on release 5.0.9 of the Tcl C-Icb
|
|
client. It has been severely modified by a loose knit group of users who
|
|
can't seem to part with the traditional client code.
|
|
|
|
The parts of the code that are left over from ForumNet are Copyright (c)
|
|
1990 by Carrick Sean Casey.
|
|
|
|
The parts of the code that are left over from icb 5.0.9 is Copyright (c)
|
|
1993 by Mark J. Reed.
|
|
|
|
That said, cicb 5.1 is nearly a complete rewrite of the original code by
|
|
the cicb-workers committee, which includes, but is not limited to: Erik
|
|
Fichtner, Phil Stracchino, Michel Hoche-Mong, and Felix Lee.
