Since you unpacked this you probably want to install it. You can go straight to the INSTALL.txt file for instructions. If it is missing, try http://www.psyced.org/INSTALL.html PROTOCOL for SYNCHRONOUS CONFERENCING ============================================= ___ __ _ _ __ ___ __ | \ (__ \ / / | | \ |__/ \ V | |- | ) <<<<<< | (__/ | \__ |__ |_/ This is 'psyced', the multi-user virtual environment. It is a server and gateway implementation of PSYC. The latest version is available on http://www.psyced.org/download The project homepage is http://www.psyced.org The protocol homepage is http://www.psyc.eu The user manual resides at http://help.pages.de psyced isn't just a PSYC server; it also simulates the functionality of PSYC clients allowing users of various sorts of more or less dumb applications to enter the PSYCspace. psyced is implemented in LPC and uses a driver called psyclpc. Why LPC you ask? http://about.psyc.eu/LPC See INSTALL for details. The files in the distribution directory are: AGENDA.txt : future plans (not a TODO really) BANNER.txt : advertisement or welcome message COPYLEFT.txt : GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE INSTALL.txt : installation hints and notes LICENSE.txt : something you are supposed to read (copyright info) README.txt install.sh : an installation script (ksh/bash). makefile : some useful functions (optional). bin/ : various scripts but the only one you really need, "psyced", will be created by 'install.sh'. config/ : depot of configurations. also contains some tcsh and powwow settings. data/ : this is where psyced stores your user and room data. local/ : your local configuration of the server is created by 'install.sh' but you can also make it a symlink into a config/something directory log/ : where the server logfiles end up. may be a symlink into the /var partition. place/ : here you can implement your own room objects in lpc. some examples of public rooms are waiting for you there. run/ : the LPC equivalent of a CGI directory. LPC can spawn a subprocess to do some jobs which are too hard to achieve in LPC-world. see about:spawn on this. utility/ : the applet code and other things that may be useful. world/ : this is the directory tree that is visible from within the lpc interpreter and therefore contains all the actual lpc program code. data/ : symlink to data/ default/ : the text database for multiple languages and formats drivers/ : glue code to interface LPC drivers to psyced local/ : symlink to local/ log/ : symlink to log/ net/ : all of the psyced code is in a "net" hierarchy : so it can be merged with an existing MUD obj/ : just in case you misconfigured your driver place/ : symlink to place/ static/ : contains static files for httpd export : you can use them with the internal httpd : or copy them to yours Don't be disturbed by the way traditional LPC drivers keep their LPC source files with a ".c" suffix and data files with a ".o" suffix. More oddities are described in http://www.psyced.org/DEVELOP if you want to find your way around the psyced source code.
