doIRC is a full fledged IRC (GUI) client written in JAVA. It is multi-threaded, MDI and implements IRC, CTCP and DCC protocols and is a very user friendly and easy to use application. You will need Java 2 runtime to execute the application.
Here are some key features of "doIRC":
Multi-Threaded, Multiple Document Interface (MDI) client.
Supports multiple channels, queries and DCC.
IRC Server selection option from the Status Window.
Channel List setup option.
User Information setup.
Individual channel window setup options. Remebers the new colors for that channel and uses it again.
Covers nearly all the IRC commands. I have not tried it. In case if any command is missing or not working, e-mail me.
Channel log option available.
Popup menus provided for userlist and text windows for different functions.
Command Panel, Ban List and tool bar in Channel Window for easy topic and mode change, ban list view and other useful commands. Bans can be just removed by double clicking on ban list (for Operators only). The command panel can be hidden by de-selecting the "Command Panel" option under the "Options" menus in channel window.
Colors setup for different text messages types.
Copy and paste using the CTRL-C and CTRL-V options.
Have tried to support mIRC colors, but still not fully functional. All the text bold, italic and underline is supported. (Support is for incoming text only).
User Hostname view (from userlist, ban list) using the tool tip text. Just select the user or ban and tooltip will show rest of information.
Easy bans.
Hide and show the window with just simple click.
