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 nor-
     mally 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.
