   IRCIT 0.3.1 - IRC client for the Information Terrorists!




   IRCIT is a new, non-derivative IRC client catering for the
   needs  of  the  non-average user.  It  currently	 runs  on
   Linux-based  systems   and   will   not	 compile  without
   modifications by non-GNUC-compatible compilers.

   IRCIT  is  not a ``yet another IRC client'' sort of thing.
   It's a clean departure from whatever currently  exists  in
   the  text-mode  category	 of UNIX IRC clients and is being
   geared with features that will appeal to people with sense
   of  sophistication.   IRCIT  is part of a  more	ambitious
   project,	 ultimately  aiming  at supporting    wide   col-
   lection	of  Internet-mediated  communication modules, and
   providing    both   ``proprietary''   and     conventional
   communication  channels	for  the  so dubbed ``Information
   Terrorists''.  So  what you see now is really  a	 snapshot
   of work in progress.

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE It's been a while since I released new revisions; in fact, it wasn't my intention at all to release any revisions in the 0.3 series, but since some major redesign work is undergoing, I envisioned I'd release some revisions in the 0.3 series before I finish the changes that will eventually lead to the birth of 0.4, which will include, among other things, visual toolkit for script writing. Consequently, the quality of changes present in this revision is not substantial; mainly cosmetic and corrective.

   I've generated some  screen-shots  for  IRCIT  using  ANSI
   sequenses.  I find them impressive and quite nice. You can
   generate similar files using the /SCREENSHOT command,  but
   unfortunately,  I  haven't  included the program needed to
   process these files--I will in some future release.

   Thank-you to all users, who sent e-mails, or left notes at
   my  webpage, enquerying about the current standing of  the
   devolepment,  because  they  thought  it	 has  halted   or
   something.   I  have to admit, I have small time-quota for
   IRCIT, but I try to utilize it in the most effective  way.

   I  hope	you  find  this	 release  more	useable	 than the
   previous one.  For  more	 specific  details  on	the   new
   features in this release, consult the N�NE�EW�WS�S file in the doc
   directory.

FINALE Please skim through ircit.help, it has some documented commands and it will help you understand the basic syntax of IRCIT, it will particularly help you appreciate the potentials of IRCIT. I've also written a man page which explains the command-line arguments and various other things. Please read that, too.

   My   TO-DO  list	 is  quite  exhaustive,	 but I don't mind
   adding some of yours, too! Espacially the unusual features
   that  you always considered necessary in the IRC enviromet
   (try to avoid war stuff).  If you feel you have	something
   sensible	  to   say regarding  this softwar or myself, you
   are encouraged to write to me about it. Also, If you in	a
   position	 to  host  a  mailing-list for IRCIT on your sys-
   tem, I'd love to hear from you. To  recieve  notifications
   about  new  releases,   visit  IRCIT's  modest webpage and
   register	 a  functional e-mail address.
And  finally, If you wish to  send  corrections	 or  con-
   tribute	code,  you must send diff-patches and you need to
   observe my indentation rules. If your contribution is vast
   and spans multible files, you need to document it.
