PARD: IRC
EPIC4 is a textmode IRC client.
IRCIT (IRC for the Information Terrorists) is a non-trivial, full-featured,
text-mode, macro-extensible modern IRC client. It features sophisticated,
high quality GUI system and scripting language, syntax of which is 99%
C-like. The basic IRC protocol is mostly implemented plus many
implementation-specific details. There is also built-in party-line,
accessible via telnet with some basic commands. IRCIT allows you to access
any text-based server and in the same time benefit from the editting
capabilities and history support. IRCIT can be detached from your terminal
and run in the background with the ability to resume your session later.
Plus many more interesting details.
Keirc is a powerful Internet Relay Chat client program written for KDE. It
contains virtually all of the features that you would expect in an IRC
client, multiple windows session such as server message, channel message,
private message query, DCC chat query, DCC send/get and more with a simple
mouse operations. The integrated popup menu and the dynamic menu structure
allows you to navigate this client easily and clearly.
Scirc is a simple IRC client written in Guile Scheme which allows scripting
in Scheme. It is currently under active development.
This first public release includes most of the common IRC commands, ignore
handling, exception catching, a /SCHEME command, flood protection and more.
Features:
- nice windows (each of them for one or more channels) with userlist,
topic, ...
- different (user definable) colors/styles for different kinds
of messages
- URLs and message IDs are transformed to buttons (supporting
web-browsers or nntp-hosts)
- netsplit handling to hide many
signoff-/join-messages of the same kind
- nickname completion within a
channel (like filename completion in shell)
- nickname history for private
messages
- many different kinds of logfiles (for queries, channels,
messages, crap, ...)
- notification with address pattern matching
- user
definable aliases
yagIRC is a GTK+ based IRC client, it has Perl scripting support, has a nice
user interface with colorised output, DCC works, can use multiple (toplevel
and ircii style hidden) windows and multiple servers, you can join as many
(or as few) channels as you like in one window, even channels from different
servers can be placed in same window (might be a bit confusing though). I've
done a lot of work to make it stable, although there still exists some bugs.
yagIRC can also be used without user interface to make it work as a bot.
Zipper! is a Linux X/TCL/Tk based IRC client. It supports many functions
including scripting, dcc transfers and chats, colors, sounds and more.
Zircon is an X Window System interface to Internet Relay Chat. The software
is written in tcl/tk and uses the native network communications of tcl. I am
particularly interested in making the system useful for those users in
groups where JIS and other national character sets are used.
Zircon has more features than you could possibly imagine and implements
nearly everything that the irc II clients support as well as many other
useful and interesting features.
Acidblood is an IRC robot that is in constant development. Acidblood started
off in perl a couple years ago and was ported to C when more speed was
desired. Now a C++ port is on the way, and the bot is more stable than it
was in the past. Acidblood now runs on IRC servers around the world helping
people administer chaotic IRC sessions.
Eggdrop, being a bot, sits on a channel and takes protective measures: to
keep the channel from being taken over (in the few ways that anything
can), to recognize banished users or sites and reject them, to
recognize privileged users and let them gain ops, etc.
