- EPIC (Enhanced Programmable irc-II Client) is a new direction in
- ircII development.
-
- Features:
-
- EPIC is completely safe: There are no hidden trap doors. We value your
- trust, and will not do anything to abuse it.
-
- EPIC is programmable: While ircII does contain a wide range of commands
- and functions, several glaring ommisions exist, which EPIC has attempted
- to fill, making the ircII language complete, precise, and efficient.
-
- EPIC supports bots: We do not agree with those who feel that script bots
- are all the evil of irc, and we feel that scripts bots must not be
- squelched by those who have the stranglehold of control on irc. EPIC will
- support bots for as long as we maintain it.
-
- EPIC is not anal retentive: EPIC allows you to do EVERYTHING that the irc
- protocol (RFC 1459) allows, and does not place any arbitrary restrictions
- upon you. EPIC *does* fully comply with the protocol as shipped and does
- not allow you to do anything that is deemed illegal by the protocol.
-
- EPIC is complete: EPIC supplies over 100 various functions and commands
- which allow you to do things very quickly that required very large or slow
- scripts in the past.
-
- EPIC uses ANSI function declarations. Most current versions of the stock
- client do have full prototyping for all functions, which has the same net
- effect as the work we have done. We, however, chose to move all our function
- headers to the ANSI style, rather than relying on K&R with function
- prototypes. We provide a function declaration in a header file for every
- extern function.
-
- EPIC is getting smaller and faster. Changes are continually underway
- to provide a faster client with more functionality while using less CPU
- cycles. While these may appear to be conflicting goals, the whole point
- of the EPIC project is to provide the best client that runs as well as
- can be managed.
