And now the reason for the fixing of the curses library, an IRC client for QDOS in C (a little friendly competition with QLirc), I've named this one qdos-irc.
The client is a port of the client from
https://c9x.me/irc/
Source code for C68/xtc68 is available here
https://github.com/xXorAa/qdos-irc/
Ill create a ready to run zipfile in the next few days for those not C inclined.
The commands are a little different to normal
j #channel (to join #channel)
q (on its own to quit)
Ctrl-n (next channel)
Ctrl-p (previous channel)
m nick message (send priv message)

This is really nice and deserves quite a bit more attention.
Great Work!

Thanks, I noticed last night it does not run on q-emulator, the select command fails on that platform. So best to run it on smsmqmulator, uQlx or sQLux. I don’t current have qpc2 setup to test.

I'm not an IRC expert, probably never used it, but I've got QPC2 and, puppy willing, can do a test for you.
Cheers,
Norm.

I actually got QPC2 fired up on my Apple M1 MBP and its working nicely, both the emulator and the program!

Hi, sorry if the question is a bit off topic: how is running and performing QPC2 under the new Apple architecture M1? It is nice to hear that QPC2 is able to run (emulated) using MAC Tools Rosetta 2 but how is performing?
I am asking this because I have a lot of doubts abandoning my trusted Intel Mac Book to adopt new M1 platform
Many thanks
