KIRC README - v0.9.5+pl4

Kirc is an IRC client for the KDE desktop environment.  It allows chatting
in multiple windows, and has support for colors, bold and underline.  Kirc
uses an MDI interface, but a single click on the button in the upper left
corner of each window can detach it.  Kirc has support for two looks, the
default 'mircish' look, and a more bitchX-like 'terminal look'. 
Currently, this must be changed manually by editing the .kircrc file. 
Kirc now supports nick completion.  Just type part of the persons nick
followd by a colon, and the nick will be completed for you. 

THIS SOFTWARE IS STILL IN BETA.  USE THIS UNOFFICIAL RELEASE AT OWN RISK.

INSTALLATION

For installation instructions, read the INSTALL file.

HOW TO USE KIRC

kirc supports most ircii commands, as well as a few extras.  I welcome
suggestions for new commands, as well as reports of missing ones (all the
'official' commands should be implemented; ircii uses many that are not
'official'). 

Some commands worth noting:

/query: opens a message window with another user.  Syntax: /query [nick]

/join: joins the channel specified.  Adding '#' before the channel name is 
optional.  Syntax: /join (#)[channel]

/op: gives the specified nick channel ops, assuming you are a channel 
operator.  Syntax: /op [nick]

/deop: same as /op, but deops the nick.

/ping: pings a user or channel.  Syntax: /ping [nick] or /ping [channel]

/ctcp: sends a ctcp message to the specified user.  Syntax: /ctcp [nick] MESSAGE

/whois: returns information on a user.  Syntax: /whois [nick]

/nick: changes your nick.  Syntax /nick [nick]

/modload: loads a module.  Syntax: /modload [file] (Unloading coming soon)

For descriptions of other IRC commands, I encourage you to look at the ircii 
help files, or the RFC1459 file on the IRC protocol.
