Subject 'Irc' client program at Andrey's Contrib

Hello,

I've recently been trying out various IRC clients for Plan 9, and of
the two that suited me most (irc7 and Irc), I find Irc to be better
formatted and polished, thusly, more usable.
Anyhow, I've noticed a couple of problems with the program:
	when I receive a private message from someone on IRC, acme
opens up an Errors dialog stating that,
"new newline at 61 - <" and "new newline at 63 - <" I have a feeling
this has something to do with the formatting of WHO queries, so it
seems to be minor.  On the other hand, there is a greater problem with
sending messages to nicks or channels: typing at the end of the Chat
window in acme, and hitting enter, causes another Errors pop up, which
states: "address out of range" -- each time that a message is sent.
And so it turns out, these messages are never sent (to the channel or
user).

So, perhaps, if this project is not yet antiquated, someone can help
sort these problems out.  :)


Regards
