      Category: irc
      Maintainers: toby
      Description: The (E)nhanced (P)rogrammable (I)RC-II (C)lient
      Homepage: http://www.epicsol.org/
      Platform: darwin freebsd
      Long Description: EPIC4 is a new direction in ircII development. No longer is EPIC 100% 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.
