What is this?
-------------
A simple NCurses-based client compatible with NewbieNudes.com chatroom
protocol. There is a basic line-editing interface with some bells and
whistles, such as a input history.


Usage
-----
See the help, 'nnchat --help' for options. By default it connects
to the Members Only chat (TCP port 8005). By using other ports (option -p)
you can connect to Passion Pit (8003) and free for all (8002) chats.

Connect as registered user to members only chat:
> nnchat username password

Connect as guest to free for all main chat:
> nnchat -p 8002 AnonymousAndy ""


Keys
----
left/right        - Move cursor in the current buffer.
up/down           - Browse input history.
ctrl+left/right   - Move cursor through words.

ctrl+l            - Refresh/redraw screen.

F1                - Toggle between insert and overwrite modes.
F2                - Clear current edit buffer.
F9                - Quit.


Installation
------------
NNChat requires a curses library, preferably ncurses. For Windows
version, PDCurses can be used instead.

2) make / gmake
