Richard Suchenwirth 2007-12-19 - I love the Tcl chatroom. It's like my peer group. So I was quite frustrated when good old Ralfchat (a Perl script) on mini.net was closed down, because that was my only way to participate in the chat from my cellphone.
But isn't Tcl an enabling language? Why not put useful parts from picoIRC 0.2 and Playing CGI together, and build my own bridge between IRC and http? The following script connects to IRC (you may have to fumble with the ircnick, if it is reported as being in use) and collects what is posted to the #tcl channel. It also provides a web server that listens on port 80, and provides the latest posts to the customer there. Also, it accepts posts and posts them to #tcl... It's all quite crude, but what do you expect from less than 90 lines of code, depending on nothing but Tcl? At least, it works quite well from my cell phone, so I can chat from that again (if a server is started).
Here goes:

RFox added flying pig logo. jdc sorry, lost that mod in my latest version :-(
