The sweet little prog is called ZIRCON. It should be found at

catless.ncl.ac.uk/programs/zircon


Should you be unable to find it there try the various web search engines.


I saw it at a show and (knowing Mirc) I was very impressed. It was running
under FreeBSD with XFree.


By the way, I got the Windoze version of StarOffice 3.1 (Try&Buy) last week
and it is absolutely awesome. The Word-clone has a complete HTML 3.0
compliant web browser EMBEDDED. You can design entire webpages without
leaving your word processor (allegedly...). You can even send and receive
emails (allegedly...). I do not have a private account so I could not test
it. The Linux version of it will be PUBLIC DOMAIN !!!

Check out www.stardiv.de (also in English...)

I personally do not use UNIX but mentioning it in another news group
nearly caused my email-mailbox to overflow...
