Title: Chatzilla
Post by: Nick on May 06, 2007, 10:14:25 AM

Hi. Its been a while since I last posted a new Thread here!

Anyway. Just wondering if its possible to get Chatzilla to work on the Amiga.org channel. IRC is something i haven`t done in ages so I`m a bit rusty.....Ok very rusty! My Amigas in a many peices and has been slowly dying for ages, so until i get a FAST new Amiga which works (my A1 doesn`t work either) then I`m on my PC  :-x

Thanks

Yeah, but how? I`m to rusty with IRC to remember how things work. Not used it seriously for about 3 years.

Hmmm. I want to use Chatzilla....for now at least. Its small n simple. Can`t be bothered getting anything serious. Surely somebody knows how to get it going.

Well, ChatZilla itself says upon starting (here, Ffox 1.5.0.11/OSX 10.4.9/CZ 0.9.77):

Mozilla.org (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/) says:

ChatZilla is an IRC client that is written entirely in JavaScript and XUL. You must be using a Mozilla based browser to run ChatZilla.

So for AmigaOS, nowhere. For Windows, install Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/) and then ChatZilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16) add-on.
