is now obtainable by anonymous ftp from ftp.lysator.liu.se
[130236.254.1]. You'll find it in the file pub/emacs/Kiwi-x.y.el where
x.y is the latest version; after getting it, you probaly want to
rename it into Kiwi.el.

This file can either be loaded directly into Emacs by doing

	M-X load-file RET Kiwi.el RET

and then used by doing

	M-X irc RET


A better way may be to first byte-compile the file by

	M-X byte-compile RET Kiwi.el RET

to get the file Kiwi.elc, then to put it in one of the directories
listed in the Emacs variable load-path (you can check the variables
contest by saying

	C-h v load-path RET

) and by putting the line

	(autoload 'irc "Kiwi" 
	    "Internet Relay Chat client." t nil)

in your .emacs file. After this, whenever you say

	M-X irc RET

the irc client is loaded (if it wasn't loaded already) and you are
asked for a hostname where an IRC server can be found.

You can read more about how to intall and how to initialize it for
startup by doing

	/HELP startup

inside Kiwi.


Please let the file be readable by everyone (chmod +r Kiwi*)
on your system.


If you have any problems, or suggestions, feel free to email me at
address sojge@mizar.docs.uu.se or sending me a message on irc. I use
the nickname sojge.

See you on IRC!
