FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. How do I get embryonic to autoload when I start BitchX? Make a file in your ~/ directory called '.bitchxrc' in this file type the following: eval load $HOME/em/em.bx Then next time you load BitchX, embryonic should autoload. 2. Why does embryonic crash on me when I try and load it? embryonic is only compatible with BitchX versions 74 and higher. So if it doesn't load, then check your version of BitchX. If you have the current version of BitchX and embryonic still wont load make sure that BitchX was compiled correctly on your system. We have had some reports of script failure on Digital UNIX releases. If you still have questions about this please find void on irc or email him at hellfire@liii.com 3. How come it takes forever to load embryonic? embryonic loads at different speeds on different machines, we are sorry if you have to wait 20 seconds because you have a 50mhz computer. There is nothing that can be done about this, although we are looking into it. 4. Why does it take so long to display the channel list? This is more or less a server thing, if your computer cant sort through text and organize it quickly then the output of the channel list will be slow. Another factor of this is the speed and lag of the irc server you are connected to. 5. Can I copy portions of your code? Anyone may copy portions of my code. But please give credit where it is due. And of course I didn't write all my code, so any code that I copied please give credit to the original author. 6. Where can I get future versions of embryonic? You can get the most timely updates via irc, #BitchX or #embryonic. You might also want to check out http://www.drow.net/embryonic/ for the website and further information. 7. How can I help? You can help by informing me of bugs and other things that you would like to see in the script. Anything can be helpful, and also your input on new additions are a major factor on there existence in later versions of embryonic. 8. Why wont XYZ work? If you are having problems with a certain function of embryonic please find void online and let him know your os version, bitchx version, and other system variables; having these will help him in the quest for an answer to your problem.
