to reduce the need for scripting by including a huge array of features

remember). Many consider BitchX bloatware (not necessarily a bad thing),

>Timo released yagIRC in 1997. It was a GUI client using the GTK+
|
|
toolkit. The army called on him a year later, and the new maintainers
|
|
wouldn't do the job. yagIRC passed away and he started irssi as a
|
|
replacement. It used GTK+. GNOME and curses versions would appear later.
|
|
As of 0.7.90 it's only a modular text mode client. Supports Perl
|
|
scripting.</P
