;;; Commentary:

;; ERC is a powerful, modular, and extensible IRC client for Emacs.

;; For more information, see the following URLs:
;; * http://sv.gnu.org/projects/erc/
;; * http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ERC

;; As of 2006-06-13, ERC development is now hosted on Savannah
;; (http://sv.gnu.org/projects/erc).  I invite everyone who wants to
;; hack on it to contact me <mwolson@gnu.org> in order to get write
;; access to the shared Arch archive.

;; Installation:

;; Put erc.el in your load-path, and put (require 'erc) in your .emacs.

;; Configuration:

;; Use M-x customize-group RET erc RET to get an overview
;; of all the variables you can tweak.

;; Usage:

;; To connect to an IRC server, do
;;
;; M-x erc RET
;;
;; After you are connected to a server, you can use C-h m or have a look at
;; the ERC menu.

;;; History:
