Hello.
I've edited the ircII.servers file, but when I run irc (the version I
took in the Debien distribution), it doesn't change anything in the
servers list.
I've compiled an irc-ii client, and the result is the same.
So, do I have to define the path somewhere or something like that ?
Thank you

I got a storm of rejected postings due to the anti-spam feature, and have
turned it off for good. Sorry if yours was one of the bounced messages.
