+  The DXSpider CVS Changes erratum
+  Ian Maude, G0VGS, (ianmaude@btinternet.com)
+  Version 0.1 March 2001
+
+  A reference for CVS users of the DXSpider DXCluster program.
+
+  If you have any problems with a new CVS version please mail the
+  support list or come and report on WW Convers channel 9000 or from a
+  44 host to sys2.pa4ab.ampr.org (44.137.44.16) port 6667 (IRC) and join
+  #9000.
+
+
+  The latest CVS is version 1.47.  There are major changes going on
+  currently as the code is altered to allow DXSpider to be run under
+  Microsoft Windows.
+
+  There is a separate file for the Windows installation in the
+  /spider/html and /spider/txt directories so I will not include that
+  here.
+
+  For Linux users, there are several steps to complete to update from
+  version 1.46.
+
+  PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING
+
+
+  +\bo  tar up your existing perl and cmd directories and put them
+     somewhere safe so you can revert to the old version if necessary.
+
+  +\bo  Do a CVS update in the normal way (cvs update -d)
+
+  +\bo  cp /spider/perl/Listeners.pm to /spider/local and edit it as below
+
+  +\bo  comment out the spdlogin line in inetd.conf and 'killall -HUP
+     inetd'
+
+  +\bo  "make" the client in /spider/src (just in case it has changed)
+
+  +\bo  restart the cluster and pray :-)
+
+  The Listeners file looks something like this ...
+
+
+
+       #
+       # Copy this file to /spider/local and modify it to your requirements
+       #
+       #
+       # This file specifies which local interfaces and ports you will be
+       # listening on
+       #
+       # You can add as many as you like
+       #
+
+       package main;
+
+       use vars qw(@listen);
+
+       @listen = (
+       #                  ["localhost", 7300],
+       #                  ["foo.dxcluster.net", 7300],
+                         );
+
+       1;
+
+
+  Alter the hostnames and ports to reflect you setup.  This file is only
+  used for incoming telnet requests.  You do not have to use hostnames,
+  it is quite ok to use IP addresses and it is also a matter of choice
+  whether or not you add the domain.
+
+  Here is an example of a working Listeners.pm file ..
+
+
+
+       @listen = (
+                          ["localhost", 8000],
+                          ["sys2", 8000],
+                          ["apu", 8000],
+                         );
+
+
+
+
+  Now all this is well and good if you have a static IP address.  If
+  your IP address is dynamic then one line will do, like this ...
+
+
+
+       @listen = (
+                          ["0.0.0.0", 8000],
+                         );
+
+
+
+
+  From this version, the file client.pl has ceased to be needed.  In
+  fact it has been removed.  If you are still using client.pl in your
+  ax25d.conf then replace it with /spider/src/client.
