Official WEB : http://zerochplus.sourceforge.jp/


■Preface
　This file is a description of "Zero-channel Plus," a project started to modify the script of the original Zero-channel (http://0ch.mine.nu/) to 2channel specifications.
This file is an instruction manual for the project "Zero-Channel Plus", which started with the purpose of modifying the script of the original Zero-Channel () to 2Channel specifications.
　I'd like to explain it in a way that anyone can understand, but I'm a bit of a lazy creator, so there may be some things I haven't gotten to yet.
I hope that anyone can understand it, but I am a bit of a lazy creator, so please understand that I may not be able to explain it well enough.
　This file has been edited based on /readme/readme.txt of the original Zero-Channel, so some parts of the file are still in the original text.
Please note that some parts of this file are the same as the original text. Please be aware that some parts of the file may be left as they were in the original.


What is Zero-Channel Plus?
　Zero-channel Plus is an improved version of Zero-channel, a Perl script that operates a thread float type bulletin board.
This is an improved version of Zero-Channel.
　Originally, the purpose of Zero-channel Plus was to remodel a group of bulletin boards that had been created using the Zero-channel script, but the script was not modified properly, so it was reworked.
The purpose was to re-create a group of boards that had been modified using the Zero-Channel script, but we decided to make it available to others anyway.
However, we decided to open it to the public this time because we wanted to let other people use it.
　As with Zero-chan, you can write and view messages using a dedicated 2channel browser.
