I got to Sorcerynet with Eu and tcp4u, did some mode changes, set up a 
notify for chanserv and nickserv, joined a channel, said something, and quit.:

. 07:45:51am 05/29/01  [TiggrTest] joined
. [TiggrTest]!Gertie at 6ca5eca3.14055a5c.208.5.imsk
. 07:45:51am 05/29/01 ChanServ op'd [TiggrTest] in #Tiggrbot .
.Population: @[Tiggr] [TiggrTest] .
[07:45] <[TiggrTest]> testing!
. 07:46:15am 05/29/01 Tuesday [TiggrTest]  quit: Quit: Tiggrtest done testing 
.
. [TiggrTest]!Gertie at 6ca5eca3.14055a5c.208.5.imsk .
. [TiggrTest] was at 208.5.29.118 .


I found two bugs in tcp4u:

line 505 in function tcp4u_connect() 
connect_socket should be an atom, it goes outside the range of integers

lines:
495:     port_addr = allocate(2)
496:     poke(port_addr, port)

make them into:

port_addr = allocate(4)
poke4(port_addr,port)

That should be enough to get started. I don't have a gui yet, but that's not 
really on the list of things to do. Of course, until last nite, i wasn't going
to
write an irc client either.......
