Real-time Audio and Video Capabilities
A sampling of ViRC's many features includes support for text attributes (bold, italics, and underline tags), pause and resume capabilities, aliases and macros for creating your own IRC commands, a LagScope feature for letting you know how server delays are affecting your elapsed time, userlist support for turning yourself into a simple bot, grouplist support for quickly scoping out all the channels currently available, and finally its own programming language (the ViRC Programming Language or VPL for short).
There is even the capability for real-time voice audio chatting with ViRC (like that of Internet Phone and similar clients), as well as real-time video capabilities, sound effects, MIDI, and synthesized speech for the full multimedia effect. You can also send and receive files through IRC using DCC support; in fact, the newest release has added an extremely cool DCC Whiteboard feature, which allows users to graphically collaborate with each other through the use of an integrated, object-oriented paint package.
