wchat is a telnet-based Chat Server written in the C language. It was originally based on chatC code, but then expanded to be a fully functional chat environment. wchat is designed to use minimal cpu or memory resources, and be a modular high-level code base. What this means is all low-level functions are written in separate libraries which wchat uses them.

This allows any additions or changes to the "look and feel" of the chat to be very simple and straight forward. wchat is an extremely stable and solid base from which to build a chat environment around. This is not a web chat, but a telnet chat server usually connected to via clients such as tinyfugue, gmud, CRT, etc.

Here are some key features of "wchat":
System configurable network options (listen size, max user, etc.)
Full ANSI color support
Multiple chat channels
Fully configurable handle with color support in handle
Idle times
System uptime information
Basic login information
message timestamps
User accounts
guest, normal, and admin user levels
/admin command for admins
