NAME

       ScrollZ - An advanced ircII-based IRC client

SYNOPSIS

       scrollz  [-4] [-6] [-c chan] [-p portno] [-f] [-F] [-h host] [-H host] [-C name] [-s] [-S] [-n] [-d] [-q]
       [-a] [-b] [-l file] [-I file] [-L file] [nickname] [serverlist]

DESCRIPTION

       ScrollZ is advanced IRC client based on ircII code. It adds features normally found in ircII scripts.

       The main difference between these scripts and ScrollZ is the code. Where ircII scripts take a lot of disk
       and  memory  space  and  run slow, ScrollZ only takes a couple of extra kilobytes compared to stock ircII
       client yet runs faster than any ircII script. This was accomplished by using  C  code  instead  of  ircII
       scripting  language.  This  reduces  memory and CPU usage and code tends to run faster.  ScrollZ includes
       features such as built-in userlist, shitlist, improved scripting, Blowfish based encryption, features for
       IRC operators and user friendly features such as completion for nicks and channels.
