Package: pork (0.99.8.1-1)

Console-based AOL Instant Messenger & IRC client

pork is an ncurses-based AOL Instant Messenger and IRC client. It uses the OSCAR protocol (the one the windows client uses) to access AIM. Pork features Perl scripting; an online help system; the ability to configure nearly all aspects of the program's look-and-feel; an alias system; and a powerful, fully-configurable key binding system. It supports being logged in with more than one screen name at the same time. The default look-and-feel of the client is modeled after the ircII IRC client. Anyone comfortable using ircII (or any clients derived from it -- e.g., epic, BitchX, etc.) will feel comfortable using pork.
