Version 3 of Simple connection script to guide you to the start

TSP, 2007-10-21: This is a very simple script to help you get started with connecting to the IRC, or actually any socket based connection.

 set socket [socket -async irc.example.net 6667]
 proc recv {socket} {
         gets $socket line
         # process $line..
 }
 fconfigure $socket -buffering line -translation crlf
 fileevent $socket readable "recv $socket"

Be sure to change "irc.example.net" (and "6667" if appropriate). recv will be called when the client gets a line of data from the server.
