flirc Information Page (2001-08-13)

Hello Agenda Users,

This info page is meant to describe the actual development of flirc, the fast light IRC client. As I don't have very much time for writing docs, this page will become out of date as soon as I upload it somewhere. :)))

The current flirc release is 0.09f.

Introduction

flirc is an IRC client designed specially with PDAs like the Agenda VR3 in mind. The main criteria for flirc are:

• Compact GUI
• fast execution (no scripting, no hooks, no winamp^H^H^H^H^H^Hxmms plugin)
• minimal memory footprint

Things that do work

• /HELP - type it and see what you can do (some commands not yet functional)
• Connecting to servers with /server address[:port] or through Server list in menu.
• /JOINing one channel (the focus is going to the last you joined, but doesn't return to the previous, when you /PART
• Command line history (button to the left of the input line)
• Formatting for many (most?) server messages
• CTCP ping and version replys.
• Compiling for snow disks (make snow in flirc dir)

Things that don't work

• Setup dialog - should be only available when not connected; not all fields and buttons implemented.
• DCC handling (does anyone need it? no? I'll do it anyway - but not now :))
• Formatting for some server messages
• Anything I forgot here ;)

Here I'll mention anyone who bothers to send me useful patches for flirc...

As of now, the only developer of flirc is Georg Lukas (that's me, yeah ;)

I'd love to get your contributions, ideas, bug reports (e.g. "it crashed without any reason") or just a comment... Just mail me something...
