Gabbr - a gab(1) client

Gabbr is a gab(1) client written in Bourne shell, the nearly universal Linux/Unix shell. If you don't know what gab is it's probably because you're not in the RawText.club, in which case there's likely no need to read further.

Current and old versions:

gabber-2.1 (current)

gabber-1.2 (old ver.)

For the change log see code comments.

Copy and Install:

For those new to scripts you just need to copy the file to your 'bin' directory, then make it executable via chmod(1):

% cd ~/bin # run 'mkdir ~/bin' if non-existent
% cp /home/zilog/public_gopher/Gabbr/gabbr ./
% chmod 700 gabbr

What does it look like?
