BitchX-1.1-Final Readme file by sin <sin@bitchx.org>
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
BitchX is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client by Colten Edwards aka
|
|
panasync@efnet. BitchX was originally based on ircII 2.8, but is currently
|
|
based on the ircii-EPIC4 releases by Jeremy Nelson.
|
|
|
|
BitchX was originally started as a script by Trench and HappyCrappy
|
|
for the popular UNIX IRC client ircII. Around Christmas of 1994 the
|
|
script was patched directly into the client by panasync.
|
|
|
|
Now in 2004 we are looking to revive the development of the client by merging
|
|
it back to the current release of Epic and cleaning some of the features
|
|
that are no longer needed or supported and moving on with the building of
|
|
a whole new client. 10 years of BitchX and we're not nearly done yet.
|
|
|
|
The new client will be based upon the final release of EPIC4 and will exclude
|
|
a great number of the old features such as support for OS/2 and GTK which was
|
|
very old and bloated plus there were problems with the gtk client causing
|
|
quite a hit to the CPU. The upside is that the client will be pulled back
|
|
into a sane code base. Less bloat and overhead is always good for you the
|
|
user.
|
|
|
|
For persons interested in becoming involved in the new project please visit
|
|

|
|
|
|
A special thanks to panasync.
