Free flash based irc chat software for linux

Rhapsody is an IRC client for Unix operating systems intended to be displayed on a text console or terminal. It is small, fast, portable and easy to use, yet it is full featured.
The thing that separates it from the crowd is its intuitive menu driven user interface. Check out the screenshot area for more information.
It is written entirely from scratch in C and uses the ncurses library. It compiles and has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, IRIX, Mac OS X, BeOS, Hurd, Syllable and Cygwin.
Most importantly, Rhapsody is a FREE software. Grab it from the download section!
Main features:
- Multi server support.
- Clean, easy to use menu driven user interface.
- Favorite server, channel and user lists.
- Ignore lists.
- Configurable interface color themes.
- Large file (over 2GB) support.
Protocols that are supported:
- IRC (obviously)
- DCC chat
- DCC file transfers
- CTCP
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug that causes client lockups when initiating a DCC chat.
- Some minor feature enchancements have been included as well.

FlashUnity is a channel-based approach to an XML flash communications server and chat room.
Using the concept of channels and filters the FlashUnity server becomes extremely flexible and very easy to extend. Also, by using channels it is possible to run multiple modular functions within the same server.
Filters allow you to prefilter input for all channels or provide other functionality to all channels. This is a total rewrite of CyberSS, and the APIs and XML have multiple major changes. Each module, filter, and the chat client are in their own seperate PEAR package.
Enhancements:
- Room changes now work properly, and there are Uselist updates.
- This is the final release before 1.0.

FlashUnity project is a channel based approach to a XML Flash communications server and Chat room.
The CyberSS project this spawned from was originally nothing more then a simple PHP socket server example with a simple chat frontend as a proof of concept. FlashUnity however was built from the ground up to be a easy to extend Flash communications server.
By using the concept of channels each of which handles a diffrent task the FlashUnity server becomes extremely flexible and easy to extend. Also by using channels it is possible to run multiple modular functions within the same server.
Because this is a total rewrite of Cyberss from the ground up and the APIs and XML have multiple major changes there are currently no working Flash clients, anyone interested in helping out in this area feel free to send me a email.
Enhancements:
- Improvements to debug.
- The debug setting is now followed properly.

Wap-IRC gateway allows you to chat on IRC with any WAP-enabled mobile phone. It works by running the server program on a Unix-like system that is accessible over the Internet. It doesnt require phones which have programs written in Java.
I am Tomas Vilda, student studying at University of Vilnius, Lithuania. I started interested in wap when I bought my first wap enabled mobile phone. I searched for the running irc-wap gateway. But with no success. Actually, I found some, but no such, that I make to connect to specified IRC server. Then I found wapirc gateway written by Alan Cox . I tried it on my FreeBSD server. During compilation I got error, because of bad Makefile. So I compiled it by correcting Makefile and ran successful. My mobile is Siemens C55. To start using this wapirc gateway I have to make some modifications. They are listed below.
Enhancements:
- cgi/main():refresh included into main-cgi, saves us .htaccess and external wmlscript
- cgi/write_wml(): fixed bug in linked nicks with ACTIONs and * in there.
- server/parseinput(): Added /me Command for * ACTION in channels
- cgi/write_card(): get refresh timer from config.h
- server/removeallitems(): doing a list cleanup when disconnecting, so we can rejoin after quit without part
- server/print_out(): screenbuffer with latest messages, scrolling top down
- cgi/write_card(): reload on a regular basis, when not typing something in. New formular works on more phones, informative header
- cgi/wml_link()/wml_header(): wml1.2 compatible links/input field for accesskey element
- cgi/write_wml(): new linewise printout, italic makeup, nicks are linked setting defaultvalues for talking on channels and privat.
- cgi/main(): Expire header
- Makefile: make install

Flash for Linux project is a development environment for Macromedia Flash, a format widely used for web applications and vector animation.
F4L is in such early stages of design that it is not recommended for use by people without knowlege of C++, QT, Ming, etc.
F4L is a clone, or imitation, of a Macromedia, Inc. product called Flash. The most current version of Flash is MX 2004. Flash is designed to help people make programs that can be used on any computer and that can be distributed over the Internet.
Flash can even be easily included in a web page. Most browsers include a plug-in that allows users to view Flash content in web pages. If you do not have this plug-in, you may wish to visit http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/ to get it for Mozilla (or compatible), Opera, Internet Explorer, AOL, OS X, OS 9, Pocket PC, OS/2, Irix, Solaris, or HP-UX for free.
Flash offers easy development of professional applications. Flash development is based mostly on a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Through the GUI, a developer can draw their application on the screen. Drawings can be converted to animations, buttons, and other features with the development environments menus and dialog boxes.
Competing methods of development, such as C++, Java or JavaScript, require technical knowledge of a special programming language and mathematics. A Flash applications GUI features are extremely limited compared to a programming language based project. To compensate for this weakness, Macromedia added Action Scripts to Flash.
Action Scripts are a sort of programming language, but there are only a few commands to learn, and they are selected off a menu. Action Scripting is equivalent to programming a graphing calculator with BASIC; it should not take you more than a few days to learn, if you have the patience to read boring instructions.
While Flash can be developed with very few Action Scripts, the scripts add to the interactivity of the application. Most web sites using Flash do not use Action Scripts intensively, with the exception of games. Flash can also work with JavaScript.
Enhancements:
- The program can now export simple objects like images, lines, rectangles, ovals (ellipses), and text.
- The "locate" command is used to find the TrueType font files needed for text.

MOHA Chat is a chat solution which comes with a intuitive Web client and can run on most shared hosts. MOHA Chat consumes fewer resources on the server side and is fast on the client side.

The project uses AJAX to retrieve the chat messages and user status. The client polls the server at regular intervals. It currently supports only one-to-one chatting with the Web client. The Web client encrypts messages using a key unique to the client when sending a message to the server and vice versa.

AjaxChat is a simple, fast, and customizable chat server that uses Ajax to smoothly refresh and display the chat zone and the nickname zone.
AjaxChat project supports customized CSS stylesheets and plugins.
Online chat is a generic term for what are now mostly known as instant messaging applications-computer programs that enable two-way typing to connect users to each other.
However, there are net dating systems and other online services that do not use these applications to provide chat facilities, e.g., Delphi, often relying on HTTP-based protocols instead. Sometimes these are called a chat room or chat extending the physical metaphors of sites and magazines which many web services exploit.
Today there are many chat rooms, some incorporating instant messaging features without having to install additional chat software. These chatrooms often have friend finders built in.
Some of these systems also provide telephone voice mail access. These are usually known generically as just chat systems.
A chat log is a record of a chat. Sometimes this is put on the web.
The earliest online chat system widely used was probably the Unix talk facility. The earliest one in general use was likely the French Minitel. During the 1980s, online chat was made available on CompuServe and DDial servers, and later on GEnie. In 1988, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol, an instant messaging tool, was developed and became the de-facto standard for online chat.
Enhancements:
- An optimized chat weight, a simplified initialization process, and simplified theme creation.
