Nettalk (IRC client)
Encyclopedia
Nettalk is a free
and opensource IRC Client for Windows. Because Nettalk's user interface focuses, in contrast to many other Windows IRC clients, for less experienced IRC users, it is quick to learn. It is a full-fledged IRC client with UTF-8
and DCC
file transfer support. Available languages for the user interface are Dutch, Chinese, German, English, Spanish, Russian, and Hungarian.
It can manage multiple connections, the preferences of which are stored individually. This includes NickServ identities and visited channels. Nettalk completes commands, nicks and parameters automatically. Command-syntax for typed in commands are displayed
to the user like in modern software development environments. Commands can be searched for by their function, as well as by name. Also, there is the ability to show private messages in full-screen applications, and a spellchecker for German and English. Nettalk supports mouse gestures since version 6.5.
The Script function of nettalk uses a BASIC dialect, which is supported by syntax highlighting.
