ScrollZ is an advanced open source Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client based on ircII.
It adds features normally found in ircII scripts like Toolz, PhoEniX, GargOyle or Lice.
The software incorporates many useful features found in all sorts of scripts. The main difference between these scripts and ScrollZ is the code – whereas ircII scripts take a lot of disk and memory space and run slowly, ScrollZ only takes a couple of extra kilobytes compared to stock ircII client yet runs faster than any ircII script.
The ScrollZ project was formerly known as C-Toolz.
