ScrollZ is an IRC client derived from ircII. Originally known as C-Toolz, it incorporates many features traditionally provided by external IRC scripts directly into the application.
The client is designed for experienced IRC users who want extensive functionality without relying on large collections of external scripts. It includes tools for managing conversations, monitoring activity and protecting channels from unwanted behaviour.
ScrollZ provides a configurable terminal interface with extensive window management and scripting facilities. It also includes support for file transfers, encryption and user lists, making it a capable alternative to the traditional ircII client.
This is free and open source software.
