DFBnc was originally an IRC Bouncer written in Delphi. It compiled on Linux (FreePascal) and windows (using both Delphi and FreePascal).
DFBNC Was originally licensed under the ZLIB License, unfortunately this version had a number of bugs in it, and is no longer available.
Due to issues with the code and random other things, the decision was taken to completely rewrite DFBnc (for the 2nd time), and rather than relying on external librarys (lsocket and wsocket) and having to test on 3 compilers and work around the various differences in compilers/platforms by hand it was decided to be rewriten in Java, with the rock-solid IRC Parser from http://www.dmdirc.com/ DMDirc powering it.
Config files between the 2 versions are not compatible with each other, due to the config-directory structure used by dfbnc-java.
DFBnc makes use of files from other projects, which are automatically downloaded when using svn.
