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.

**** It's a pity that not written anywhere on www.openverse.com that openverse is an "abandonware"!
I download the latest version for testing, and I think the main idea behind was great, the other pain was to find a server still running in the list openverse.com port 7000, was the room I visited (with 4 ghost like displayed users!)
Thus, seems that M$ messenger has great future (if everybody "give up the fight")
Sadly,
