<h4>Introduction</h4>
- The standard client program is written in perl and lives in <tt>/spider/perl/client.pl</tt>.
+ The standard client program is written in perl and lives in <tt>/spider/perl/client.pl</tt>.
It performs the interface function
between the cluster daemon (<tt>/spider/perl/cluster.pl</tt>) and
AX25 or Telnet connections, both incoming and outgoing.
+
+ <p>There is a related program called <tt>/spider/perl/console.pl</tt> which,
+ as of version 1.30, is the standard sysop or full duplex telnet user
+ connected interface program. This is a simple screen oriented program
+ that has a bash or shell like command history editing facility as well
+ as a scrolling cluster window with colouration of particular lines of
+ interest (such as DX spots, Announces etc).

the standard cluster user file to check them.
+ <p>Having said all of that the client <em>appears</em> to use the following files and
+ sends them to the user if they are present:-
+ <ul>
+ <li><b>/spider/data/motd</b> which is sent to the user on normal user startup.
+ <li><b>/spider/data/logout</b> which is sent to user on disconnection.
+ <li><b>/spider/data/offline</b> which is sent to the user if the cluster daemon
+ isn't running.
+ </ul>
