You should minimise this browser to help prevent accidential closure or page changes. The IRC Java applet should appear in a new window.
Enter a "nickname" into the box at the top of the IRC chat window, replacing the default "webuser_???", and then press the "Connect" button to connect to our IRC server (irc.cursor.biz). Once connected, press the "Join" button and type in one of the above channel names, or press the "Channels" button and then select a channel from the list of "Official Channels" or "Netwide Channels".
Open channels are listed in the "Public/Private" channel bar at the bottom of the IRC chat area. You may switch to any of the channels you have joined by selecting from this list. A "ChanServ" window may open when entering a new channel for the fist time. Read the message and then re-select your channel from the "Public/Private" list.
You can, of course, use any IRC client to connect to our IRC server. Point the IRC client of your choice at irc.cursor.biz, port 6667. One of the best IRC clients for GNU/Linux is X-Chat. One of the best IRC clients for MS Windows is mIRC. Installing your own IRC client will make your life a lot easier if you intend to make a lot of use of IRC. If you can recommend a decent IRC clent for another popular operating system then we'd be happy to post a link to it here.

| #cursor | Discussions relating to Cursor Software Limited. |
| #icdevgroup | Interchange development group private channel. This channel is for use by current Interchange development group core team members only.

Non-members are always welcome to use the #interchange channel. |
