The Satellite IRC client. This is a simple IRC client specifically made for Retro Rocket OS.
If you do not specify a nickname, a random nickname will be allocated. This random nickname will be Rocketeer followed by 3 digits.
If you do not specify a hostname to connect to, the program will connect to irc.chatspike.net.
If the GECOS field is left empty, then the default Satellite IRC Client will be used.
If a port is not specified, the default IRC port 6667 will be used.
If DNS resolution fails, Satellite will attempt to connect using the hostname as an IP address.
After connecting, Satellite shows incoming server messages, channel messages, notices, joins, parts, quits, kicks, topics, user lists, and other IRC numerics.
The current target channel is shown in square brackets on the input line at the bottom of the screen.
Type a line and press Enter to send it to the current channel.
If a line begins with /, it is treated as a command and will not be sent as a message.
Satellite keeps track of the channels you have joined.
When you join a channel yourself, it becomes the current channel automatically.
Joining a channel automatically selects it as the current channel.
When you leave or are kicked from the current channel, Satellite selects another joined channel if one is available. If not, it falls back to the network name or -.
