Tcl -scriptedIRC client forMicrosoft Windows . It was developed byMark Hanson (software developer) and considered at one time a strong rival tomIRC . Development ceased in1997 upon release of version 1.0 Beta 4. Despite this XiRCON fielded a steadily growingcommunity 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 onEFnet .An attempt was made to clone XiRCON [cite web|title=XiRCON-II|url=http://wiki.tcl.tk/XiRCON-II|accessdate=2008-02-09] by David Gravereaux, who was also the author of the Falcon extension [cite web|title=Falcon extension for XiRCON|url=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1616&package_id=2093|accessdate=2008-02-09] for XiRCON, but alas, he has yet to complete it. David also made a hack [cite web|title=XiRCON Tcl 8.1+ hack|url=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1616&package_id=27045|accessdate=2008-02-09] for XiRCON that allowed it to use any
Tcl core v8.1 or higher.External links
