IRCjr is a small IRC client designed for early IBM PCs and similar machines. The features and coding style were chosen to make it very usable even on the oldest and smallest of machines. Features include:
Details can be found in ircjr.txt.

Below are a screen shot of it running in a DOSBox on a Windows 2000 machine and a YouTube video of it running on an IBM PCjr. (The YouTube video can be viewed in higher resolution on the YouTube site.)

Note the TCP/IP statistics (colored in cyan, obtained by hitting Alt-S) - over 100,000 TCP/IP packets in and out during this session! (I finally ended the session after a week.)

IRCjr is not a replacement for a full featured modern IRC client. If you need file transfer capabilities, multiple connections to different servers, etc. then you probably want a modern IRC client on a modern machine.


Download!

IRCjr is included with the other mTCP applications. They can be downloaded from the main mTCP page here.
