+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+=over
+
+=item ICBNAME
+
+=item FNNAME
+
+=item FORUMNAME
+
+If the B<-nickname> option is not given, these environment variables
+are checked in the order listed. The first one that's set is used as
+the nickname on the server. If none are set, the login name on the local
+system is used as the nickname.
+
+=item EDITOR
+
+=item VISUAL
+
+If EDITOR (or VISUAL, if EDITOR is not set) is set to "emacs" (or a
+path ending in "emacs", such as "/usr/bin/emacs"), icb will use emacs
+editing mode by default, otherwise it will use vi mode. However, the
+default I<system.icbrc> contains "oset editmode emacs" which overrides
+this variable. To use the environment, add "ounset editmode" to your
+I<~/.icb/icbrc>.
+
+=item SHELL
+
+The shell to use when running external commands from within icb, via
+the I<c_chell> command (see B</help primitives>). If not set, B</bin/sh>
+is used.

+=head1 AUTHORS
+
+ICB is based on Sean Casey's ForumNet ("forum" or "fn") 0.10, with his
+permission. The new name was devised by Mark Giaquinto and John Atwood
+DeVries. The actual code here is based on release 5.0.9 of the Tcl C-Icb
+client. It has been severely modified by a loose knit group of users who
+can't seem to part with the traditional client code.
+
+The parts of the code that are left over from ForumNet are Copyright (c)
+1990 by Carrick Sean Casey.
+
+The parts of the code that are left over from icb 5.0.9 is Copyright (c)
+1993 by Mark J. Reed.
+
+That said, cicb 5.1 is nearly a complete rewrite of the original code by
+the cicb-workers committee, which includes, but is not limited to: Erik
+Fichtner, Phil Stracchino, Michel Hoche-Mong, and Felix Lee.
