Check out some of the Emacs clients. Or the working perl client.
The messy dos and the mac-trash is also less than 200K ...

But not ircII, never will be.

Thanks, Rubin.  Know off-hand where I can FTP the emacs clients or perl
client?

Well, if you use compression-archivers such as zip on the whole thing, in
the right way, you can shrink 700K worth of client and library files into a
little over 200K, then use a shell script to open the whole thing into
/tmp, or some other 'temperary' directory where space isn't a problem, if
your system has such a thing.

I recomend shar-irng all the help and script files, then zipping the shar
file and the rest of the files together, using the highest compression you
can get.

I'm sure you can figure out how to write the shell script to explode all
that into usable form, so I won't bother posting my script, unless people
are interested in my example.
