microdc is a command-line based Direct Connect client that uses the GNU Readline library for user interaction. microdc was developed from ground up and does not depend on any other program. Despite the command-line user interface, microdc was designed to be user friendly and simple to use.

microdc is currently in beta state - there may be many bugs not yet discovered. It also lacks some features that other clients support, such as file hashing, multiple hub connections, and hub list support.

microdc is free software - it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is written in C by Oskar Liljeblad, and is designed to compile and run on modern POSIX compatible systems such as Linux.

Here are some key features of "microdc":
Nearly full support of the original Direct Connect protocol.
GNU Readline support.
Sensible tab-completion of commands, user names, local files, remote files, speed names, and connection names.
One process per connection for optimal transfer rates.
Small memory footprint (I think).
