+** Rcirc is now part of the Emacs distribution.
+
+Rcirc is an Internet relay chat (IRC) client. It supports
+simultaneous connections to multiple IRC servers. Each discussion
+takes place in its own buffer. For each connection you can join
+several channels (many-to-many) and participate in private
+(one-to-one) chats. Both channel and private chats are contained in
+separate buffers.
+
+To start an IRC session, type M-x irc, and follow the prompts for
+server, port, nick and initial channels.
