-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- WSIRC is a Windows client for the Internet Relay Chat network. It allows
- Internet users to chat electronically with each other using IRC servers.
-
- The advantage is that users worldwide can access the IRC network and
- converse with users worldwide.
-
- WSIRC is a Windows Sockets 1.1 compliant application and has been tested
- with NetManage's and Trumpet's WINSOCK.DLL tcp/ip protocol stack.
-
- A WSIRC IRC server is currently under construction to provide video, audio,
- raw data as well as the currently supported text data.
-
-
- SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:
-
- WINSOCK.DLL must be present. WINSOCK.DLL is provided as part of your
- networking software. It is not part of WSIRC. A number of shareware versions
- exist. Of note is Peter Tattam's $20 shareware WINSOCK.DLL available from a
- number of ftp sites. A book called Windows Internet Tour Guide includes a
- sampler version of Netmanage's Chameleon (version 3.11) for $25.- it's a very
- good book for Internet beginners. Explains SLIP/PPP setup, mail, ping, news,
- ftp, telnet, mailing lists, etc.
-
-
- SPECIAL NOTES:
-
- There are 4 versions available:
-
- SHAREWARE (WSIRC 1.14b-S).
- FREEWARE (WSIRC 1.14b-G).
- REGISTERED (WSIRC 1.14b-R).
- SITE LICENSE (WSIRC 1.14b-L).
-
- Only the Shareware and Freeware versions may be distributed, if you see a
- Registered version being distributed please email me.
-
- The SITE LICENSE version allows unlimited users on a LAN each with a private
- WSIRC.INI file.
-
- Please note that I created WSIRC for my own personal enjoyment as a hobby.
- It is not meant to be a money-making venture although I don't mind financial
- recognition for it. In the spirit of cooperation within the Internet I have
- included a FREEWARE version for use by anybody that simply won't or can't
- purchase a licensed registered copy. Funds received from registration will
- go towards further development of WSIRC. The future includes images, sound
- and video in both client and server versions.
-
- International users, please note that you can download an international
- version of BWCCxxxx.DLL from FTP.BORLAND.COM if your Windows installation
- displays a missing BWCCxxxx.DLL message box due to an International language
- Windows intallation.
