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 50000 users and 20000 channels on IRC
worldwide.
System Requirements
Any Macintosh or Power Macintosh with System version 7.0 or higher
installed. (System 8.0 or higher and AppleScript recommended).
MacTCP 2.0.x driver or Open Transport 1.1 or higher.
An internet connection.
Minimum 1.5Mb of free RAM, 2Mb recommended
Additional requirements: Quicktime 2.x (3.0 is recommended) and a sound
application (e.g. SoundApp) to play .wav files.
This client has been tested with EFNet, Dalnet, Undernet, Newnet and almost
all 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, Dalnet and other irc servers/networks.
We cannot guarantee that all commands listed will work on all servers. You
might encounter some servers that dont recognize certain commands on the
net.
