OpenVerse Visual Chat is an application written in pure tcl/tk which requires no extensions to the language. We are an OpenSource project and welcome any and all help from Tcl programmers around the world.

The OpenVerse is similar to other graphical chat systems like The Palace and Microsoft Chat with the main difference being that it is much more '''open''' and also runs on a variety of systems including Windows, *nix ''(Yes Linux too)'', Macintosh OS/2 you name it! Anything which Tcl/Tk is available for should run OpenVerse just fine! 

Currently The OpenVerse has some issues on the Macintosh and this is where help is needed most. If you are a Tcler on the Macintosh platform we could realy use your help!

Contact me ''[David Gale] mailto:cruise@openverse.org'' for information on how to join the project or visit the web page at http://openverse.org/
