Short: IRC client for TCP/IP or serial
Author: Brian J. Cerveny (brianc@iastate.edu)
Uploader: brianc@iastate.edu
Type: comm/net
Grapevine is an Amiga Internet Relay Chat client. The IRC
is a worldwide network on which users can participate in realtime
conversation. Grapevine is a means by which to communicate over
this network using an attractive, easy to use graphic interface

Grapevine supports several methods of communication. You
may use one of the TCP/IP stacks: Commodore's AS225r2 or the
freely distributable AmiTCP.
Grapevine also support any serial.device compatible device
by means of a simple Unix network connection utility and a small
terminal program to log in and connect to the server, and pass
control to Grapevine.

VERSION CHANGES / BUGS FIXED since V1.0 release
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.33 - Dumb mistake in 1.32 disallowed User and Network settings from being
used.
1.32 - Channel mode windows were all using the same string, so if more
than one was open they would all display the same title.
The "Toggle Icon Window" menu item was moved to the "Reveal" submenu
in the "Project" menu. Also, it now only opens the window or brings
it to the front, and does not toggle its opened status.
Contents of keyword and user limit string gadgets were not being
copied when "Use" was selected, so it was necesary to hit return
before new values were recognized.
Added font settings window. Fonts can be defined for the screen
(including gadget labels), the channel text display, the channel
input gadget, and the channel namelist window.
Fixed a problem with the /KILL command that rendered it useless.
The style of the nickname field in the channel text display window
was not that for sending a /MSG if QUERY mode was on.
If the text gadget filter was turned on in the system IControl prefs
inserting a style character would also overwrite the character under
the cursor with a second style character.
1.1 - /QUERY command implemented for continuous messaging of a single
user without using "/msg nickname".
If socket.library was successfully opened but socket setup failed,
selecting "Cancel" in the error requester caused a software failure.
Fixed enforcer hits that happened when "Use" was selected in the
User and Network settings.
Included a new DCC.Send that is hopefully stable again. The one
included in the first Grapevine release was very unreliable.
