+ircII (IRC Client, Second Edition)
+
+ircII is a full screen, curses-based interface to Internet Relay
+Chat. It gives full access to all of the normal IRC functions, plus a
+variety of additional options.
+
+ircII is the oldest IRC client still maintained.
+
+By default, this SlackBuild sets the default IRC server to
+"SSLIRC/chat.freenode.org:6697". This only applies with ircII is
+run without a server argument on the command line. You can change
+the default server by setting the DEFSRV environment variable to the
+host:port (with optional SSLIRC/ prefix for a secure connection), or
+compile without a default server with DEFSRV=none.
