as a everyday bitchx user i can say no its not dead :) it is probably not packaged because there is probably nothing groundbreaking in c18 compared to what's in debian(c16 i think). i use both c16 and c18 and notice no difference in functionality(ive been using bitchx for about 4 years). so *I* don't see a reason to upgrade to c18. (i only use c18 because it's on a solaris box and i had to compile from source) there was a security bug or 2 in c16 but that was fixed a long time ago in debian(even though the version number wasn't affected). newest is not always the greatest. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
