.SH DESCRIPTION
|

.B bnchat
|
| 33 |
is a simple Battle.net client emulator that can be used as a minimal chat client with
|
| 34 |
.BR bnetd (1)
|
| 35 |
in order to test certain aspects of the server configuration or to do server
|
| 36 |
administration from the Unix command line. It is also compatible with FSGS servers, but
|
| 37 |
has difficulty with real Battle.net servers.
|

.SH NOTES
|
| 111 |
The terminal width is attempted to be determined at runtime but if it does not work
|
| 112 |
you may need to try running
|
| 113 |
.BR resize (1) .
|
| 114 |
As a final act of desperation you can try setting the COLUMNS environmental variable.
|
| 115 |
.LP
|
| 116 |
If SIGWINCH and its associated
|
| 117 |
.BR ioctl (2)
|
| 118 |
are supported on your system, resizing the window while the program is running should
|
| 119 |
immediately update width of the entry line.

.SH BUGS
|
| 127 |
This program assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line
|
| 128 |
when the carriage return character (^M) is printed. It also assumes the backspace
|
| 129 |
character (^H) will move one column to the left that character printed after that
|
| 130 |
will replace those already on the screen.
|
| 131 |

| 132 |
