A few of the changes: Bug elimination: After a /kick the nickname is stricken from the list of those present Use of dos.library for data concepts A server may be contacted with a double click on its name New pop-up menus for the name list Keyboard shortcuts implemented When a nickname changes in the channel it is also changed in private conversation windows The /away command now works right "Assign wookiechat:" is not needed anymore Download: WookieChat13beta.lha (218 KB) (snx) (Translation: dm) [News message: 14.
