NAME
     bnbot - Battle.net text-based chat bot client

SYNOPSIS
     bnbot [options] servername [serverport]

DESCRIPTION
     bnbot  is	a  simple program which will allow communication through the bot
     protocol of a Battle.net server from the command line.  Input from stdin is
     sent to the server and output from the server is send to stdout.	The  in-
     terface  is  so simple that telnet(1) could be used.  The only complicating
     factor is that a control-C character must be sent to the server before  any
     other input.

     It  is  hoped  that this program can be used with a scripting language like
     expect(1) to make creation of chat bots for Unix easier.  To date, I  don't
     know of anyone doing this.  This program may also be used to test bot login
     permissions for accounts.

     If  no  servername is specified, localhost is assumed.  If no serverport is
     specified, 6112 is assumed.

OPTIONS
     -h --help --usage
	    Print usage information and exit.

     -v --version
	    Print its version number and exit.

NOTES
     The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:

	    http://www.bnetd.org/

BUGS
     The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings.  The following are
     assumed:

     ^H     delete the character to the left of the cursor

     ^J     accept current line

     ^M (return)
	    accept current line

     ^T     transpose the last two characters

     ^W     delete word to the left of the cursor

     ^U     delete the whole input line

     ^[ (escape)
	    cancel the current input line

     ^? (delete)
	    delete the character to the left of the cursor
