        Announcing ircII 2.6 for Windows
        ================================

ircII, the most popular client program for the Internet
Relay Chat network, is now available for Microsoft Windows.
As with the original UNIX client, ircII for Windows is free
for most people, and source coded is included.

This port finally brings a fully featured, free IRC client
to the Windows environment.

ircII for Windows requires a Windows Sockets 1.1 compatible
network to operate.

ircII for Windows will be available from:

        ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/winsock/ircii2-6.zip

NOTE: Another Windows IRC client previously announced
      itself as "ircII". That client was not ircII - the
      first release of a genuine ircII for Windows is this
      release, made in January 1995.
