Bowser


Bowser is an IRC client for the BeOS platform. Its original source was authored by Andrew Bazan and can be found at Andrew's web site. Because of his busy schedule at college, Andrew has stated that he no longer can devote as much time to Bowser's development. I've tried to help out with this and am providing what I've done to Bowser here. Many improvements and features have already been added and are detailed below. Thank you Andrew for all the hours you spent writing Bowser, and making it very easy to enhance it.

Andrew opened the source to Bowser, so I will continue to keep it open. You can either download an Intel binary or the complete source. I do not have access to a Power PC machine, so no binaries for that platform are available. You must have BeOS 4.5 to use this release.

If you're installing this version of Bowser as a replacement for Day 36 and lower releases, it's important that you remove your existing Bowser executable and the ~/config/settings/Bowser_Settings file. The old settings format is incompatiable with the current release, but this should be the last time the settings file needs to be wiped. For support, email me (Todd Lair) or Andrew.

I must thank Gord McLeod for all his great suggestions and testing. He really has helped me out a lot, and I have a ways to go before all his ideas are implemented.
