Questions and Answers

Q. If I register, will I get future versions for free?
A. Yes, absolutely.

Q. Why isn't the Windows version free?
A. It's free to try for the first 30 days! Building XChat for Windows is a difficult process, it requires quite some skill and expertise to accomplish. It takes time, and is by no means automated. This version also has some value added features only for Windows, such as opening irc:// URLs from your web browser in an existing instance of xchat, spell checking and graphical emoticons.

Q. What about the LGPL libraries you link with?
A. The source code is here if you wish to download it. The bugs I've fixed have already been submitted to the relevant bugzillas with patches. The readme.html file has further details. This file is not useful for the average user, if in doubt, you don't need this :)

Q. Does registration entitle me to technical support?
A. We ask you to evaluate the product for free for 30 days to make sure it suites your needs. We're happy to answer any email questions, but there is also another good source of help and information: the public forums.

There's also the main FAQ for information on using xchat's features.
