1$Id: README,v 1.16 2001/08/01 22:15:20 kalt Exp $ 2 3With hundreds of IRC clients out there, it's sometimes hard to believe that 4a new one was needed. Here are the highlights of this software: 5 6 + absolutely NO scripting ability. 7 + termcap based (e.g. fast!). 8 + emacs-style key bindings 9 + compliant with RFC 2810, 2811 and 2812. 10 + virtual windows � la screen(1). 11 + multi server support. 12 + non blocking TCP connections. 13 + basic support for multi-homed systems. 14 + IPv6 support (requires RFC2533 compliant API). 15 + everything goes and stays in the lastlog. 16 + convenient scrolling (with searching capabilities) in the lastlog. 17 + 10 display filters! (2 ignore features based on this). 18 + built-in counters to hide repeating messages. 19 + highly customizable. (format strings, filters, reformating, ..) 20 + customization possible at every level (channel, window, server..). 21 + non blocking DNS lookups (A and PTR records). 22 + convenient multi-server "tabkey" style completion (for /msg, /squery). 23 + "space key" style completion (for public discussion). 24 + DCC support. 25 + CTCP support. 26 27sic is still alpha, so you should expect alpha quality. However, it is quite 28stable and no longer crashes when something isn't implemented yet. 29 30Primary site: 31 ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/sic/ 32 33Mirrors: 34 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/irc/sic/ (Finland) 35 ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/unix/comm/irc/sic/ (Germany) 36 37Announces: 38 echo subscribe | mail sic-announce-request@lists.sourceforge.net 39 http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sic-announce 40
