shirc - Shell irc-like-interfaced intra-host communication system

'shirc' is an irc-like system shell script. It lets any number of users on the same host talk to each other without console clobbering (compare to ytalk). All communications are logged by default, so you get a free automatic log. It also provides a split-vt wrapper to make interface nicer. However, the package does not provide inter-host communication, and only one channel at a time can be joined.
