~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ngIRCd is an Open-Source server for the Internet Realy Chat (IRC), which
is developped and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
Licence (URL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). ngIRCd means "next
generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the
"grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.

At present, the ngIRCd is under active development, some features are not
implemented, some only partly.

LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART,
PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, RESTART, SERVER, SQUIT, TIME, TOPIC,
USERHOST, USER, VERSION, WHO, WHOIS.


III. Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)

- ngIRCd will be developed on in the future.

  (4.5), HP-UX (10.20), IRIX (6.5), Linux (2.x), Mac OS X (10.x), NetBSD

IV. Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More documentation can be found in the "doc/" directory (in english). Please
have a look at "doc/de/" if you are looking for german documentation.

("stable") releases there.

always stable), then please read the section "CVS" on the homepage and
