The Enhanced Programmable ircII Client (ircII-EPIC) is an IRC client for Unix systems descended from the ircII client. EPIC was forked from ircII around September 1994 by Jeremy Nelson, and is now maintained by EPIC Software Labs. EPIC was intended to, among other things, extend the scripting support of ircII, which many people felt was deliberately restrictive in order to limit what users of the predominant IRC servers could do; the EPIC project supports the view that the client should not prevent the user from performing any action valid according to the IRC protocol. In this way, EPIC may be considered as the client-side manifestation of the feelings which led to the creation of the original Undernet.
