About:
OpenVerse is similar to other graphical chat systems like Excite Chat and Microsoft Chat, with the main differences being that OpenVerse is open source software, has no advertisements, and also runs on a variety of systems including Windows, Unix, Macintosh, and just about anything else for which you can find a copy of TCL/TK.

Release focus: N/A

Changes:
The ability to use any font on your system in the chat balloons, a completely changed formula for creating the balloons (any font and any text length should fit correctly now), fixes for loads of memory issues, a complete GUI setup tool for the personal server including registration with the listing service, more hooks for client plugins to use, the ability to move server objects after they have been displayed without having to recreate them and losing their window level, splitting of the debug window into protocol and application level windows, and many assorted bugfixes, memory cleanups, and additional debugging info.

[»] Most fun I've had with my linux box
by Project7 - Jul 12th 2000 22:00:23

I started using OV back in April of 2000, and have been in there every day ever since. It's not moderated line #linux on certain irc servers *ahem* so you won't get booted for asking "has anyone ever tried Corel Linux", and it isn't the next best thing since sliced bread (which IMHO is swirley rhye bread) but what it *is* is just plain fun! As long as you don't have a Toaster running a proctor/gramble 32 bit OS, then try OpenVerse.

[»] THIS IS THE BEST CHAT PROGRAM I HAVE EVER USED!!
by John doe - Feb 28th 2000 06:06:15

i just started using this program a couple of weeks ago, and this new release really is awesome! The ORT is a fun new feature. If you are looking for a change of pace and a great visual chat program, check this out. Even the download is not very big too! Come by sometime, hope to see you there.
