Overdose is an instant messaging client for the discontinued YCHT protocol written in C, and using ncurses for display. It is multithreaded using POSIX Threads and supports several features despite its early stage of development, those being shellexec (the ability to run shell commands and print the output to the chat room), and timestamps.

Overdose runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X.

History

Overdose was originally written in cooperation by the current maintainer, and Mattis Michel. Overdose was originally called "ychtclient", and was developed in a manner that made it only run and compile correctly on FreeBSD. The current maintainer cleaned up the code, made it work on Linux, and sent the changes back to Michel.

On 10 December 2005 the name "Overdose" was finally decided upon.
