This is jabber.el 0.5, a Jabber client for Emacs. If you don't know
what Jabber is, see http://www.jabber.org .
GNU Emacs
=========
jabber.el depends on GNU Emacs 21, in particular xml.el, and some
files from Gnus 5.10. If you don't have Gnus 5.10 (M-x gnus-version
will tell), you can download sha1-el.el and hex-util.el from Gnus CVS
at http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gnus/lisp/ .
XEmacs
======
You need an XEmacs with Mule support, and recent versions of the gnus,
net-utils and mule-ucs packages. jabber.el basically works on XEmacs,
but some features are missing (in particular mouse support). Testing
and patches are very welcome.
Installation
============
To install, put all .el files somewhere in your load-path (or have
your load-path include the directory they're in) and put
(require 'jabber) in your .emacs file. To install the Info
documentation, copy jabber.info to /usr/local/info and run
"install-info /usr/local/info/jabber.info".
Usage
=====
To start using it, type M-x jabber-customize and set your username and
server. Then, type M-x jabber-connect to connect (with prefix
argument, register new account) and M-x jabber-send-presence to send
presence (when asked for "show", an empty string means "online", and
the other choices can be found via tab completion).
Your roster is displayed in a buffer called *-jabber-*. To
disconnect, type M-x jabber-disconnect.
For a less terse description, read the enclosed manual.
