 An extensible, multi protocol, multi connection, network client.

 Currently with following plugins :
    + memory to remember favorite hosts/port
      (You click on new, enter "host<space>port", then when you double
      click, it fires a new connection on that host (eventually an irc
      connect if the irc light is on))
    + Irc a complete Irc client, with classical "ircII" look & feel
      (see IRC.txt for more...)
    + Go client to play go on internet go servers.
      (see GO.txt)

Some preliminary FAQ:
---------------------
1 copy/paste do work. on windows and mac (platforms where you don't have
  a middle button for pasting) you probably need to copy (ctrl-c)
  before releasing the mouse...
2 You can change the fonts (and a lot of other things too) on unix
  using standard X ressources, ie like "Netplug*font: fixed"
  in your ~/.Xdefaults. See tk documentation for other platforms
  font changing (and tell me so I add the info here).
3 If you get an
  Error: font "-dt-interface" doesn't exist. 
  It is because of some strange default font ressource in Motif/CDE/Solaris
  change the font for NetPlug (see "Q2")
4 you can change the colors of different widgets, for instance to change
  the text widget background:
  Netplug*Text*background: white
5 If you get Tcl errors, it is most probably that you have an old tcl version
  to check: at the wish prompt :
  % info tclversion  
  shall return 7.5 or higher
  % set tcl_patchLevel
  shall return "7.5p1" or "7.5" or "7.6*" but NOT "7.5a*" (old alpha/beta
  release of tcl 7.5, buggy ! upgrade !)
6 Try shift-clicking to bypass configuration menus

A note/trick: If you right click on the "New Connection" button,
everything is reloaded, so you can modify, add plugins, change rc*
parameters while keeping already open connections... ! [very useful
for developping!] : you can now also simply select the "Reload" item
from the "Plugins:" menu button !
