sirc 2.211

sirc is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client for Unix programmed and programmable in perl, by Roger Espel Llima (aka orabidoo). sirc is much smaller than most clients, and yet has most of their features. Its divided in two parts, a dumb-mode (meaning, no full screen interface) client, dsirc, that can be used stand-alone, programmed in perl, and a separate split-screen front end in C, called ssfe. The main point of running this client is that you can get a reasonable ircII-like interface on an account with a properly installed perl interpreter, with the perl client taking about 60k (and its usable on its own if you dont have access to a C compiler) and with the interface, once compiled, taking just another 30 or 40k. The two together, while lacking the huge complexity of ircII, make a very usable client. Youll find that you can do many and complicated things with sirc..
