Zircon is an X11 interface to Internet Relay Chat. The software is written in tcl/tk and uses its native features to provide network communications. Suggestions for improvements to Zircon are welcome. The author particularly interested in making the system useful for those users in groups where JIPS and other national character sets are used. Zircon has more features than you could possibly imagine and implements nearly everything that the irc II clients support as well as many other useful and interesting features. This reflects the power of tcl/tk and not wonderful programming (the programming is wonderful of course, but that is an aside). The tcl/tk system is excellent, and you need it on your machine NOW!
