These scripts should be used by ep to create meta-irc server which will stand for a IRC <-> Atlantis gateway. Connection of subroutines is following: Atlantis (telnet server) -> telnet -> atl2irc.pl -> meta-irc -> irc client /^\ | | \,/ <- ...... <- irc2atl.pl <- ........ <- The atl2irc.pl and irc2atl.pl may want to send back communication - this is done via ERRPUT->INPUT which is their interconnection (the ERRPUT messages are prefixed with \001).
