+bitchx (IRC client)
+
+BitchX is a free software text-based IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
+client for UNIX-like systems, originally based on ircII and heavily
+influenced by EPIC.
+
+The original BitchX hasn't been updated since 2014. This build is for
+a fork by TheApacheCats that has many bugfixes and enhancements, and
+was last updated in 2019.
+
+The executable and man page are called BitchX (not bitchx).
+
+Optional: BitchX makes use of MS-DOS-style (codepage 437) graphics for
+its title screen. You can install misc/cp437 and run "cp347 BitchX"
+to see the title screen as it was intended.
