Ircle, an irc client for the Macintosh by Onno R. Tijdgat About Ircle Ircle is a Macintosh program to use IRC (Internet Relay Chat). IRC enables you to talk, in realtime, to other Internet users around the world. IRC is organized in channels on a specific topic. You can also talk privately with someone. On average there are about 20000 users and 5000 channels on IRC worldwide. System Requirements Any Macintosh or Power Macintosh with System version 7.0 or higher installed. (System 7.5 or higher and AppleScript recommended). MacTCP 2.0.x driver or Open Transport 1.1 or higher. An internet connection. Minimum 1.1 of free RAM Additional requirements: Quicktime 2.x (2.5 is recommended) and a sound application (e.g. soundapp) to play .wav files (for Ircle versions 2.6 and greater). This client has been tested with EFNet, Dalnet, Undernet, Newnet and several other irc networks. This client is fully compatible with the RFC1459 (IRC) & RFC 1430 (Ident service) documents and makes use of the enhancements as seen in Undernet and Dalnet servers. We cannot guarantee that all commands listed will work on all servers. You might encounter some stripped servers on the net.
