uMRC
What is uMRC?
uMRC is a full-featured Multi-Relay Chat client for Windows and 'Nix BBSes.
It runs as a native door on your system, letting you access Multi-Relay Chat
without having to install and maintain a Mystic BBS instance with Python.
In other words, as long as your BBS is capable of
running DOOR32.SYS doors, then you and your users can participate in MRC.
It should be compatible with any DOOR32.SYS capable BBS such as EleBBS, WWIV,
Synchronet, Mystic, and others. It runs on Windows 7 and later (with a build for Windows XP also available).
If you use NetFoss to start up your DOS-based BBS, then the NFU utility
bundled with NetFoss should run the uMRC Client. As of this writing, Renegade
and Oblivion/2 have been confirmed.
Pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS are also available, or may be compiled from source.
Features:
- Secure SSL connection to MRC host
- Automatic host reconnection & rejoin
- TAB username auto-completion
- Password masking (e.g.:
/identify ********)
- Mention counter
- Built-in chat and mention history scrollback
- Pipe code color support
- CTCP command support
- Editable themes
- Twit list
- Local BBS-less mode
- Extended chat input beyond standard 140 characters
- Support for termsizes beyond 80x25 (dropfile dependent)
