Anyone have any idea of either an IRC program that comes in a zip, and is free, or a remote jIRC client that lets me connect to any server in IRC? Curious I am.

XChat is free for Linux, but for Windows I think it isn't. Miranda is a free IM program that supports IRC, I think it comes in a zip without an installer.

[edit] I just checked the page, it says "DOWNLOAD INSTALLER"... woops :o

I think I'll check oldversion.com for xchat--I'm pretty sure older versions didn't require registration and all that

I use gaim for irc, too.

There is pjIRC, superior to jIRC and free, no registration. Almost as comfortable as mIRC is.

Just use telnet. Most computers already have a telnet client installed, all you need is an account somewhere, and you're all set. Thats what I do whenever I'm on a public computer that wont let me run .exe files to install any kind of IRC client.

Trillian uses an executable installer though.

mirc.exe might be portable.

Install mIRC, then zip up the folder. BAM, zip-file uberIRC proggie.

And yes, it works straight out of the zip.
