IRC is great for some people. They can chat with each other, plan events,
etc. But.. Who /really/ needs that? Isn't simply speaking with an unknown
number of people with no names better? At least that's what simplechat
allows. It doesn't allow any codes, and there's no nick support.

:   It's just pure chat.

Another simplechat *feature* is that it doesn't tell anyone about the number of
users on a server. When someone joins or leaves, no one is notified. As the
curses frontend included with simplechat allows one to easily reuse previous
messages simply by using the up and down arrows, confusion is bound to
happen. One might even forget one's own words.

This program has only been tested on GNU/Linux. It'll probably also work on
Mæc (but not Whinedoze, since there's a curses interface involved).
