              new irc(morevars) list of irc() vars to saved in addition
              to standard ones (usefull for user extensions).
            + new JOIN ircOn() so you can do /on JOIN like effects,
              ex try to add to you ircrc or favorite autoloaded .tcl
                   append ircOn(JOIN) {
                     if {[string match "dl@*.obspm.fr" $uhost]} {
                       irc_send $n "MODE $rest +o $from";
                     }
                   }
              (iwantop.tcl is a much better op appl, this is just an example)
  0.37*** Big improvements
   General  + no longer $w passed around, new "defOut" replaces addText
              without widget argument. addTxt (without "e") add to widget
	      (no $n arg) and get passed the max number of lines
              (lastlog) argument.
       Irc  + removed  everywhere the now useless and ugly $w argument
              (where it was == to conn($n,txt))
            + friendlier environment for alias/commands, mostly alike ircII,
              defined variables:
                - all the parameters: $p
                - number of params : $np
                - first word  $0 , 2nd $1 ,... 
                - parameters as a list of word $plst
                - from  2nd to the end : $1p , 3rd to the end : $2p 
                  (ircII's $0- is $p)
                  NB: no other "-/p" like vars are defined if you need
                  say from 5th to the end  use  [join [lrange $plst 4 end]]
                - current channel $C
                - current nick    $N  (not $n which is the connection id)
                - command name $cmd
              The rest is still available through $irc($n,xxxx) or $irc(xxxx)
       Go   + now using defOut, dropped the $w too.
  0.36 Irc  + On close/error: stop servers & cleanup irc($n,*) array
              prevent further (impossible) typing. but menu with only dismiss
            + IU_Bind to add bindings to entry, see default
            + using new irc_fshow (fast show, ie without bold,highlighting...)
              for a lot of message that would not contain them, no "update"
	      call in irc_fshow either and irc_show' update is now off by
              default (new opt arg, 1 for update):
              Major SPEED feeling improvement!
Aug  5 1996
  0.35 Irc  + using csh instead of sh for exec to have ~
            + msg & numerics added/improved
            + added "iwantop.tcl" to distrib as an exemple of user extension
    General + set default background color to unix default (light grey)
  0.34 Irc  + added a /on command (which is just /tcl set ircOn(...) ...)
            + added netplug changeable ircOn hooks for :
              MSG PUBLIC PUBLIC_OTHER   (a la ircII)
            + added irc(autoload) list of scripts or whatever being sourced
              automatically after ircrc: ex  for you ircrc :
              set irc(autoload) {{$dotdir/scr1.tcl} {$dotdir/scr2.tcl}}
  0.33 Irc  - Big Release (rcs version I3.x) :
            + bug fix - \n / unterminated messages handling. 
              should never happen again (tell me if it does!)
            + renamed ircaliases array into ircAlias : ***FIX your ircrc 
              (and irccmd to ircCmd)
            + revamped server message handling, using an array
              ircOn() like we use ircCmd() for user commands so
              NetPlug's Irc can be extended/modified without touching the core
              but by adding set ircOn(kick) {some new code for kick handling}
              to your ircrc for instance.  (and it is ~ 15 % faster now!)
            + new ircCtcp array of code to change/extend CTCPs(see code for ex)
            + new /exec (execute a command) and /execo execute and dump result
              to current destination   (unix only, use /tcl exec on win & mac)
       Go:  + same unterminated messages fix

   General: + if Shift is pressed while clicking on buttons
              the global variable "netmod" is set to 1, 0 otherwise.
              this is used to modify default behaviour, for Irc:
       Irc: + Shift new connection : autoexec disabled

            + Added away notices because stupid 2.9 does not carry away at all
            + added global beep flag (checked in default IU_Beep)
            + "/w nick" alias is "/whois nick nick" (to see server idle/away..)
            + ugly "@" in menu changed to ">"
  0.29 Irc: + highlighting is disabled if string is empty (/set highlight "")
            + /set fastmode 1  ; /save and "reload" to also disable 
              bold, underline, inverse parsing... (on slower machines)
            + new /topic and /notice  + added @ label to right menu
              (mklinux'x11/tk seems to lack the indicator image)
            + bug fix /motd was redoing autoexec
  0.28 Irc: + added alt-c alt-u bindings.  bug fix in highlighting
Aug  1 1996
  0.27 Irc: + regular expression highlighting (by default your nick)

    proc IU_Highlight {n categ args} {if [cequal $categ channel] IU_Beep}
            + dcc get will not overwrite existing file but save in filename~
            + status/menu bar can be moved top or bottom by clicking
              (and pref pos saved in irc(status) by /save)
            + new menu items to change status variables
              (remove the "menulist" lines from your ircrc to see them)
  0.26 Irc: + Auto away improvments: don't erase manual away,
              remove auto away automatically
            + show away/not away status on status bar
  0.25 Irc: + Beep on private msg when away (if beep_when_away is 1)
            + Auto away (if auto_away is 1)
            + Formatted /who output  
            + The nick and channel are now menus, you can put your favorite
              nicks and channels in your ircrc in irc(nicklist) and 
	      irc(chanlist) or just join the channels, change nick and /save !
            + Attn for v0.24 users, if you /saved, IrcBuildMenu is now
              IrcBuildMenus update your irc(menulist)
Jul 31 1996

Jul 30 1996
  0.23  Irc:+ added /server (suggestion by tartarus, thx)
            + added autoexec irc variable: list of commands to be executed

          set irc(autoexec) {"/join #fav1" "/join #fav2" "hello ! :-)"}
                   in your netplug/ircrc
            +improved DCC error conditions handling (errors should not

            +improved dcc/feedback for large files (thx Nigra for tests!)
  0.22  General: netplug main going to v2.x (last was 1.18)
                 change from addTxt -> addText only tag names can be passed

        Corresponding change in IRC and GO plugins : less memory & cpu used
        new conn($n,lastlog) to change backlog memory (in number of lines)
  0.21  Security improvement for IRC: quote chars from incoming dcc requests
        so generated alias don't get potentially troublesome chars. (users of
        version before .21 should not accept all incoming dcc without checking
        that the /accept and /get aliases don't have weird [] or \).
Jul 29 1996
  0.20  General/IRC: update can be use in call back command as we now
