Pirch beta
PIRCH is a one-man project that resulted from my desire to learn winsock programming. I usually write network based accounting applications and although it pays the bills, it can become tedious at times. PIRCH was a way to renew my programming interest and explore new areas. PIRCH was not originally intended to be released publicly, in fact it did not start as an IRC client, it started a desired to build a Bot from the ground up. The name PIRCH (PolarGeeks IRC Hack) is sort of a misnomer in that no technical hacking actually took place, rather, knowing very little about how IRC functioned (wish I would have known about the RFC specs earlier), I approached this sort of like a hack watching how messages were sent between client and server and building upon that information. The PIRCH project started in the early November of 1995 and I have enjoyed myself immensely as it progressed. I would like to thank the few alpha version testers for their participation, suggestions and patience. Our Review: This is the rather well known program for internet chat. Pirch beta has a very wide range of commands and functions - web bunnies all over the net use it and find it to be very useful. Our main criticism is perhaps that it has very limited help files and really does need them for proxy usage.
