Description

EPIC4 is a new direction in ircII development. No longer is EPIC 100%25 backwards compatible with ircII, but instead those things where compatibility is undesirable have been found and fixed. No gratuitous incompatibilities have been added, but lots of new code has been added to make EPIC the best ircII client available.

EPIC no longer shares any file names with ircII, so they should happily co-exist.

Message after installing

EPIC is a toolkit, much akin to a box of legos.  It strives to let you
build a client the way you want it.  You will not find EPIC usable without
a script of some sort.
