Mike Chambers wrote: "i just wanted to let you know that i have written a freeware open-source IRC client for DOS. [...] there are a number of features in it that have never been implemented in any DOS IRC client that i've come across. it supports mirc color codes, has a scrollable log, drop down menus, integrated server list for connecting quickly, full DCC file download support, integrated help function, log files, plus other things... it uses TCPDRV or NTCPDRV with a packet driver to access a network card." Version 1.1 is released under the GNU GPL v3, and you can download it at http://www.rubbermallet.org/mysoftware.html

Note that the 1.1 version was released twice: on 18 March 2008, Mike re-released version 1.1 under the GNU GPL (previously was "freeware".) We have both versions mirrored in our archive at ibiblio, at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/fre … /files/net/irc/
