The DXSpider CVS Changes erratum

If you have any problems with a new CVS version please mail the support +list or come and report on WW Convers channel 9000 or from a 44 host to +sys2.pa4ab.ampr.org (44.137.44.16) port 6667 (IRC) and join #9000. +

The latest CVS is version 1.47. There are major changes going on currently +as the code is altered to allow DXSpider to be run under Microsoft Windows. +

There is a separate file for the Windows installation in the /spider/html +and /spider/txt directories so I will not include that here. +

For Linux users, there are several steps to complete to update from +version 1.46. +

Alter the hostnames and ports to reflect you setup. This file is only +used for incoming telnet requests. You do not have to use hostnames, it +is quite ok to use IP addresses and it is also a matter of choice whether +or not you add the domain. +

Now all this is well and good if you have a static IP address. If your IP +address is dynamic then one line will do, like this ... +

From this version, the file client.pl has ceased to be needed. In fact it +has been removed. If you are still using client.pl in your ax25d.conf then +replace it with /spider/src/client. +
