oicb is a minimalistic replacement for icb[1] command-line client. oicb lacks many (insecure) features, but offers one big advantage: screen is not blocked while you're typing. The code is under 2-clause BSD license, see the LICENSE file. Building instructions: OpenBSD: simple "make" should suffice, although you may want run "make obj" first. Generic way: usual CMake-based build: "mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && make". You'll need libreadline-dev and libncurses-dev installed. On non-BSD systems you'll need libbsd-dev as well. Things I'm willing to have but too lazy to do myself now: * Start using <stdbool.h>. * Implement /query as /w wrapper. * Take care of /g and /name (update 'room' and 'nick'). * Nicer group list formatting. _________ [1] http://www.icb.net/, see the "Unix ICB Classic Client" link
