LeetIRC

LeetIRC

LeetIRC is an open-source DOS-compatible Internet Relay Chat client. It appears to be the newest client for DOS available, with the most recent version 1.1 being released in December 2006. The author, Mike Chambers, has stated that it is still under active development although it has slowed since the currently available version.

It is written completely with Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5. It requires a standard network packet driver and the TCPDRV or NTCPDRV TSR program loaded before running. It works with a monochrome video display and card on any x86 system, including the original Intel 8088-based PC's. Use of a card supporting color text modes will enhance the functionality of the software.

As of March 2008, version 1.1 has been re-released under the GNU GPL version 3 license and will be packaged with Jim Hall's FreeDOS operating system [ [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=799836 SourceForge.net: leetIRC v1.1 ] ] , which is free and open-source alternative to other DOS type OSes released. It is 100% compatible with MS-DOS.

Key features of this software that distinguish it from older DOS clients currently include file logging, support for mIRC color and bold character codes, a scrollable buffer, fully functional DCC file downloading, a drop-down menu system, and a dialog box to store a user's favorite servers and select one to connect to without manually entering the information.
