EPIC is an irc client project. The EPIC software was forked from
ircII-2.8.2 in fall 1994. There have been 5 generations of EPIC, of which
the newest two (EPIC4 and EPIC5) are still supported and in development.
EPIC is maintained by EPIC Software Labs (epicsol) which was founded by
Jeremy Nelson, Jake Kuhon, Robert Chady, and has been followed on later by
dozens of others.
EPIC's development model is to provide tools to scripters rather than
features to end users. Out of the box, EPIC behaves much the same way
ircII-2.8.2 did in 1994. To truly leverage EPIC, you will need a
script pack.
