WTF is this?
<-.¸¸.·°¯°·.¸¸.·°¯°·.¸
Well, this is an IRC client written purely in ARexx, wchichs core
is 'rxsocket'. This client allows u to chat over the shell or
telnet unlike any other gui based, it is also very small so it could
be used in many instances without huge memory consumption.
Other features in brief:
- allows scripting also in ARexx
- script console output could be diverted to main console (FIFO:)
- handles irc colors and styles
- [extendable] CTCP support
- global logger as well as intelligent logger
- adjustable priorities and loop-rates just to save the cpu time
...and many more available by discovering them when doing setup.
Yap! This thing is more like for freaks rather than ordinary users =)

complex and too slow ;],
decided to rewrite and simplify...
27-May-06 fun with port communcation... crap, choosing FIFO:
28-May-06 Added early scripting support that hangs occasionally...,
found that colors translator has unneeded DO inst. when
matching colors from reassign table and slows down
whole script considerably... unusable on plain 68020
29-May-06 Fun with scripting :|, getting tired and bored...
30-May-06 =

show up the unknown message
04-Sep-06 Changed all 'CALL function()' to
'intoper=function()' -labels r unchanged,

loggers -CRLF is crap ;],
Removed "experimental" file-check code in
some subroutines -i dont know why i used
shell commands to bypass ARexx functions?!,

need to rewrite ur current scripts
in order to use them with 1.01;sorry...

changes

useless thing that colorizes the console ;)

changes in loggers -no colors logging anymore

not created in exclusive mode

assign several channels to one word and
perform /PJOIN <phrase> or /PPART <phrase>,
some minor; cosmetical changes,
added direct console output for internally
started scripts -experimental
16-Sep-06 Added simple LPS(loop per second) test,
changed back from DELAY() TO WAITSELECT()
so that user have more control over the loop-rate
raster and not just only 3 or maybe 4 states.,
changed lpstest_: so now it shows more realible
summaries and do not relies only on calculation
but performs all three lps checks
-test is 2x longer; about 3 seconds,
'valreate' has been removed,
