NAME
       ScrollZ - An advanced ircII-based IRC client

SYNOPSIS
       scrollz	[-4]  [-6] [-c chan] [-p portno] [-f] [-F] [-h host] [-H host]
       [-C name] [-s] [-S] [-n]	[-d] [-q] [-a] [-b] [-l	file]  [-I  file]  [-L
       file] [nickname]	[serverlist]

DESCRIPTION
       ScrollZ	is  advanced  IRC client based on ircII	code. It adds features
       normally	found in ircII scripts.

       The main	difference between these scripts  and  ScrollZ	is  the	 code.
       Where  ircII  scripts take a lot	of disk	and memory space and run slow,
       ScrollZ only takes a couple of extra kilobytes compared to stock	 ircII
       client  yet runs	faster than any	ircII script. This was accomplished by
       using C code instead of ircII scripting language. This  reduces	memory
       and  CPU	usage and code tends to	run faster.  ScrollZ includes features
       such as built-in	userlist, shitlist, improved scripting,	Blowfish based
       encryption, features for	IRC operators and user friendly	features  such
       as completion for nicks and channels.
