      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: epic5
      Version: 1.0
      Category: irc
      Maintainers: toby
      Description: (E)nhanced (P)rogrammable (I)RC-II (C)lient 5
      Homepage: http://www.epicsol.org/
      Platform: darwin
      Long Description: EPIC5 is the new development branch of EPIC, which is a new direction in ircII development. No longer is EPIC 100% backwards compatable with ircII, but instead we have chosen to find those things where compatability is undesirable, and fix them. No gratuitous incompatabilities have been added, but lots of new code has been added to make EPIC the best ircII client we could make.
