This file contains two personal remarks.  The first one how you
can express your support for this program, the second on how you
could support the author (two quite different things, obviously).

I provide the TIRC client free of charge for any use, as long as
you retain the copyright and origin information (see ``COPYRIGHT''
for the exact text).  I do not wish any monetary refund for writing
this client.  If you like TIRC and feel like forking out some money,
I recommend making a donation to a local organization that helps
those in need.  Especially in third world countries, there are a
lot of people who might never have the chance to even see TIRC on
a computer let alone spending time on Internet Relay Chat, talking
with the wealthy and well nourished.

I am offering support for UNIX[1] and C programming.  I have over
six years active experience in the C programming language and
several years in UNIX programming.  My range of interest covers
low-level work (kernel, libraries) as well as advanced application
programming for UNIX in general, IP networks and the X window
system.  My programming experience is not limited to C, one of my
"other" favourites (however not even nearly as frequently used) is
Common Lisp.  I am also quite elaborate in the object oriented
world, although my feelings for the C++ programming language are
of a rather, errm, cryogenic nature, which is somewhat understandable
if you have a closer look at the design of C++.  However, I do not
exclude myself from any creative occupation in advance.  For further
information please feel free to contact me by writing electronic
mail (preferred) to mkb@altair.mayn.de or token@mayn.de, or by
calling me on (+49-)0177-2590777 (only at daytimes, CET).

[1] UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group.  In contrast
to X/Open's idea of "UNIX", I also consider systems being "Unix"
that are similar to UNIX, especially BSD (BSD/OS[tm], Free-, Net-,
OpenBSD, systems derived from the fourth Berkeley distribution of
UNIX) and also Gnu/Linux, NeXTStep, OpenStep etc.
