XiRCON is a Tcl-scripted IRC client for Microsoft Windows. It was developed by Mark Hanson and was aiming up to be a strong rival to mIRC, however, development ceased in 1997 upon release of version 1.0 Beta 4. Despite this XiRCON fielded a steadily growing community based around the popular Kano script. As mIRC progressed it started to include XiRCON features such as multi-server support and themeing. XiRCON's remaining userbase began to dwindle as mIRC became more stable and popular scripts comparable to Kano were released. A very small community still keeps the program alive via the hosting of XiRCON.com and the official IRC channel, #XiRCON on EFnet.
