Quote from our news on macos9lives.com (http://macos9lives.com/):

Wallops 2.0 released

Wallops is a light-weight IRC client with an emphasis on compatibility. It runs on Macs where ShadowIRC or Ircle won't, namely oldies like a Mac Plus. It does, however, also run fine on Mac OS 9 machines. Version 2.0 now comes with a lot of changes, including (finally!) resizable windows and additional commands. Find the full changelog and download at the author's website (http://jcs.org/2024/09/12/wallops2).


Always love to see new software for Mac OS being released! I've been using Wallops from anything like my IIci up to my Mac Mini G4 ever since it came out and love it for it's simple and straightforward design. Somebody else using it ?

I'm using it and with the new version out it's more useable than ever on my MDD!

Crashes for me on my Mini on startup. Version 1.0 does work, however. Going to send the author an error report and hope he can fix it up :)

Good idea! For some reason it crashed on my TiBook as well.

Ok, he identified the problem and is already working on a v2.1 bugfix. Very cool!
