WS-IRC -- WS-IRC, like other IRC clients, allows communication (text-based) between users through Internet Relay Chat (IRC) servers. There is even a New version of WS-IRC that incorporates voice-based communication and video images for IRC video-conferencing. Users can talk to each other individually or, much more commonly, with several or even many other users at the same time. WS-IRC has an extensive on-line help section, including a tutorial to help users get started and a comprehensive listing of IRC servers. The freeware version is limited to two concurrent channels, while the registered version allows up to 255 channels and includes additional features. Positives: One of the best IRC clients available today, extensive on-line help Negatives: Price relative to mIRC, not quite as easy to use as mIRC Reviewed by Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
