Maximiliano Pin <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: ipchat
System name: ipchat
Type: non-GNU

Description:
IPCHAT will be a simple ncurses-based chat program, where you find your 
partners (what we call contacts) by their IP address (or domain name, so one 
can use it with dyn-dns and the like). It mantains a persistent contact list, 
and it works like an "instant messenger" program in the sense that when a 
contact connects, you immediatly see that it is connected (and they see you). 
It achieves this by periodically sending a HELLO message to all contacts.



You have a window for every contact (like ircII windows). On the right of the 
terminal, you see a list of all contacts (connected or not). You add contacts 
with /add nick IP [port].



We plan to use the autotools for this project. We'd like it to work in most 
modern UNIX systems. Development will be made in Debian GNU/Linux and Crux, so 
those are the first operating systems it will work on. There are currently two 
developers.



It's written in C. Our I/O demultiplexer is finished and well proven, and the 
ncurses interface hardly begins to work. Source code is available at 
http://personales.ya.com/beatk/ipchat-0.0.tgz



Check for doc/HACKING for a description of modules and coding conventions. Look 
at doc/modules.dia for a diagram of modules. Look at doc/iface for an example 
user interface. If you understand spanish, doc/SECUENCIAS has most of the 
program developed in some sort of pseudo-code.

Other Software Required:
libncurses5
