Hi,

Well as you can see I've kinda almost got this IRC program working.
The source is available, I mean I think that I'm under legal obligations
to release it, but I'd appreciate it if you wanted it you'd just wait
a little bit till i've fine tuned it. Not to mention its really sloppy
right now :-)

Make sure that you stick the emx.dll in a place somewhere in your libpath,
otherwise it won't work. You also have to go set term=mono, and 
set termcap=placewhereyouunpackedit\termcap.dat for it to work.

I believe from my limited testing that its almost as fully functional as
the UNIX irc client, but then again thats why you have a copy of it 
right now in your hands :-) I sent myself a little file via DCC and that
seemed to work, so it looks promising. /Window doesn't seem to work which
is a bummer, it could have something to do with the curses emulation of
emx. I can tell you and perhaps warn you not to use /EXEC though. If you do,
things may seriously stuff up :-)

You have been warned.

I intend to keep on trying to support all of this, but I maybe busy soon,
depending on how lucky I am [anyone want to give me a job?]. Either way,
if you have any problems give us a email.

And if you feel really generous, although you have absolutely no obligation
whatsoever, send me a postcard or something. Forms of monetary appreciation
will also be accepted. :-)

My mail address:
PO Box 767,
Eltham VIC 3095.
Australia.

Good luck and have fun.

Christian Wilson.
