I was originally using sic on a low-volume chat room at work, but I did eventually encounter that issue when I attempted to use it in larger room leading this to be filed: https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap/issues/20 . I'm considering making a sic fork called "nssic" or "not so simple irc client" and integrating libreadline or libedit. I'm not particularly fond of GPL, so I would prefer to use libedit if possible, but I haven't reviewed enough of the libedit code to see how much work it would be whereas I already know how to achieve what I want using the libreadline API. The srw program posted to this thread looks interesting hackish or not, and I'm going to try it out in a bit. Eric
