XiRCON
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
XiRCON is a Tcl-scripted IRC client for Microsoft Windows. It was developed by Mark Hanson (software developer) and considered at one time a strong rival to mIRC. Development ceased in 1997 upon release of version 1.0 Beta 4. Despite this XiRCON fielded a steadily growing community based around the popular Kano script. As mIRC progressed it started to include XiRCON features such as multi-server support and visual themes. XiRCON's remaining userbase began to dwindle as mIRC became more stable and popular scripts comparable to Kano were released. A very small community still keeps the program alive via moderating the official IRC channel, #XiRCON on EFnet.
