+ | ======EPIC is the (E)nhanced (P)rogrammable (I)RC-II (C)lient====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | EPIC is 100% backwards compatible with ircII because EPIC **is** ircII. | ||
+ | was originally built upon the ircII 2.6 client and has maintained | ||
+ | faithfulness to remain current up to the 2.8.2 release. | ||
+ | |||
+ | EPIC is slightly larger than ircII-4.4 (about 40k on this system), but | ||
+ | that is mostly because of the multitude of new features, the dual ANSI/ | ||
+ | compliant function headers, and the large amount of re-written code in an | ||
+ | attempt to make ircII faster, more efficient, and more powerful. | ||
+ | |||
+ | EPIC is derived directly from IRC-II which is currently maintained by | ||
+ | Matthew Green, and includes in whole all the additions included in the | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | Software Labs (ESL), comprised of Jeremy Nelson, Jake Kuhon, Robert Chady, | ||
+ | and a cast of a dozen others. | ||

+ | If you want to mirror the EPIC client, please drop an email to Jeremy Nelson | ||
+ | ([[jnelson@acronet.net]]) telling him the host and directory where we can count | ||
+ | on you to keep a copy of the current version of the EPIC client. | ||
+ | client takes about 450k, the help files take about 150k, and from time to | ||
+ | time there are other patches that range from 5k to 30k in size. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A mailing list for all things related to EPIC exists. | ||
+ | [[majordomo@concentric.net]] with the words " | ||
+ | (and nothing else!). | ||
+ | requests for new features, and anything else that has to do with EPIC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * EPIC is completely safe: There are no hidden trap doors. | ||
+ | * EPIC is programmable: | ||
+ | * EPIC supports bots: We do not agree with those who feel that script bots are all the evil of irc, and we feel that scripts bots must not be squelched by those who have the stranglehold of control on irc. EPIC will support bots for as long as we maintain it. | ||
+ | * EPIC is not anal retentive: | ||
+ | * EPIC is complete: | ||
+ | * EPIC is fully ANSI-compliant: | ||
+ | * EPIC is getting smaller and faster: | ||
