comms tools in tcl7.5/tk4.1 rather than the crufty old tcl7.3/tk3.6/tclDP. It can still be (I think) configured to use the older libraries, but I dont want to install them to test it. :-] (zircon-1.17p4 is in beta at the moment, and was last changed within the last day or so, this (1.17p3) is the most recent non-beta version)

This is a release of Zircon, an X11 interface to Internet Relay Chat. The
|
|
software is written in tcl/tk and uses its native features to provide
|
|
network communications. Suggestions for improvements to Zircon are
|
|
welcome. I am particularly interested in making the system useful for
|
|
those users in groups where JIPS 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. This reflects the power
|
|
of tcl/tk *not* the fact that I am a wonderful programmer (I am, but
|
|
that is a side issue :-)) tcl/tk is a wonderful system and you need it
|
|
on your machine *NOW*.
