Yet to be named OpenVMS IRC Client

Currently can only join a single server and channel.

use /quit to exit the client or it'll jack up your terminal because
otherwise the curses interface isn't cleaned up. /quit takes a REALLY
long time to process right now and is kind of broken-ish. consider it
POC.

In fact, don't use this at all right now really - it works, you connect
send/receive/join channel/etc, but exiting is just a complete mess.

Only used on x86_64 so far, should compile on VAX, Alpha, and Itanium
given only DEC C / VMS C runtime provided libraries and functions used.

What's new

Handles connecting to IRCDs that require a PING/PONG response session

Beginnings of Curses interface! Output window scrolls properly, wraparound
enabled, Nick and Channel displayed in the soon-to-be message sending/input
area.

CTCP handler added. Responds to VERSION query. Officially version 0.00.1 !

0.01.0: We can SEND messages to the channel we're in now! And we're threaded.
More cleanup must be done.

What to do

cc cc irc.c,snprintf_vms.c,[.modules]privmsg.c,[.modules]ctcp.c
link irc.obj,snprintf_vms.obj,privmsg.obj,ctcp.obj
mcr DISK$X86SYS:[sys0.sysmgr]irc.exe irc.servername.com

Currently, on vax, you will need to CC/DEFINE="__VAX" instead of just cc

Modify path as required to where you placed the source/output EXE file
snprintf_vms.obj is not required

Congrats, you now have single-channel IRC.

It will prompt you for a nick, username, and channel to join.
Username populates both ident and whois username field.

MMS BUILD FILE

Works... ish. Autogenerated using VMS-IDE plugin for VSCode - in folder VMSIRC
on remote host. Primary development work is done via terminal directly however
but successfully builds on remote x86_64 system using VMS-IDE. Autogenerated MMS
file uses CXXLINK by default, so that is modified to just LINK since CXXLINK is
almost useless on Itanium - it just brings along the deobfuscator, and doesn't
exist at all on x86_64.

VSCode VMS-IDE is running this to build:
MMS/EXTENDED_SYNTAX/DESCR=VMSIRC.mms/MACRO=("DEBUG=0","OUTDIR=out","NAME=VMSIRC","UNIXNAME=VMSIRC","CONFIG=RELEASE")

Shouldn't hurt other platforms, as no C++ code is in use
