INTRODUCTION
Like all good IRC applications (such as mIRC) you can chat with any 
one of the thousands of users connected to the IRC network right now.
You can talk in a room of people with like-minded interests.  You can
even swap files with other people (faster than you'd believe!).
Objirc Chat also has many features not found in other IRC 
applications.  Best of all it runs on all Java enabled platforms:
Windows 95, 98, NT, all Unix platforms (Linux, HP, SunOS, Solaris) 
and the Mac.  Objirc Chat is also very easy to use (just enter you 
nickname and Objirc Chat automatically connects you to an IRC server 
and joins a room for you).  

It offers a powerful and fast room searching function to help you 
find like-minded friends.  It offers a complete Get Info command 
to help you get to know your conversation partners a little better.  
It even lets you change the look and feel of the user interface 
(from native as shown below, to Windows or Motif).
Objirc Chat 3 introduces "Favorties" for you to bookmark your 
friends and the the rooms you frequent.  It also has a Startup 
folder to allow you to auto-join your favorite rooms.

Objirc Chat uses dynamic content technology (developed right 
here at objexcel) to pull content (updated daily) from our web site 
to your screen.
Through our association with Amazon.com (the kings of Internet 
bookselling), we have included the ability to browse the Amazon.com 
bookshelves while you're chatting on line.  Each of the books and 
games displayed is hand selected by our team here to ensure you're 
seeing the most popular and current new-releases.

We are also using applet technology to bring gems such as the 
http://www.7am.com news ticker.  This ticker feeds daily news 
headlines from around the world right to your status bar.
