## NAME
       ircio - A quaint little program to make irc life PING free

## DESCRIPTION
       This  little  program connects to the server (given as arg 1) on the given port (given as arg
       2).  It then accepts input from stdin and sends it to that server. Likewise, it  reads  stuff
       sent  from the server and sends it to stdout.  Simple?  Yes, it is.  But wait!  There's more!
       It also intercepts server PINGs and automatically responds  to  them.    This  frees  up  the
       process that starts ircio (such as IRCII) to pause without fear of being pooted off the net.
