PJIRC is a complete Java IRC Client. It can be run from an applet, but can also be executed from any standalone Java virtual machine. Here is a non-exhaustive list of its features: highlight support; ASL handling; graphical bitmap used for smilies; nickname auto completion; nick, channel and URL catcher; sound support; multilingual support; esthetical options such as background image, per-channel color configuration, and so on; UTF-8 encoding support; support for external control via javascript; on connect command list; time stamping.
No redidgistration, this means each time you change web address you don't need to pay money. I love showing of my artwork as background in the chatroom. You can ajust the size to full screen too. Private chats are easyer to ignore. great product.
Cons
It does not have a update button. It does not give you the makers web address.
It will not play sounds. You can not change the default text color. You can not change the settings for the nick list. It will not start in a Default room.
Summary
Once you ajust to this new way of doing things, I have had this product two weeks now, I am very content with this new product. I will never go back to Jpilot chat softwear ever again but I do fear that in years to come this Pjirc will not suport later versions of Java... As for this PJIRC It's the best product ever for 2009. cya<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 18, 2010<p/>April 2010 FireFox Browser thinks this program is harmful softwear. I must email the producers for a updated virsion of the product.
Sweet and Free
Pros
Cons
Summary
Great alternative to JIRC which costs $49.99 for a license. Also more mIRC like features that seem to be non existent in JIRC
