+ngIRCd is developed for UNIX-based systems, which means that the installation
+on modern UNIX-like systems that are supported by GNU autoconf and GNU
automake ("configure") should be no problem.
The normal installation procedure after getting (and expanding) the source
- /usr/local/sbin/ngircd: executable server
- /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf: sample configuration (if not already present)

II. Useful make-targets
";" -- this is only for the better understanding of the file.
The file is separated in four blocks: [Global], [Operator], [Server], and
-[Channel]. In the [Global] part, there is the main configuration, like the
-server-name and the ports, on which the server should be listening. In the
-[Operator] section, the server-operators are defined and [Server] is the
-section, where the server-links are configured. Use [Channel] blocks to
+[Channel].

configure pre-defined ("persistent") IRC channels.
The meaning of the variables in the configuration file is explained in the
"doc/sample-ngircd.conf", which is used as sample configuration file in
-/usr/local/etc after running "make install" (if you don't already have one).
