This isn't about a favorite IRC client, it's about furthering my knowledge of all things Linux, in this case, WINE. While I agree that there are better solutions for running Windows apps in Linux, WINE is still important (and fairly interesting, too). FWIW, I use BitchX, and once in a while, Xchat. Never tried EPIC, heard it's good. Considering moving away from BX, as I am too lame to read BitchX.doc ;) -- Bill Layer Sales Technician <b.layer at vikingelectronics.com>
