Extended description
Once installed on your webserver, ARSC provides a chat interface to the
visitors of your site. Your visitors need no special plugins or
additional software to chat, only their webbrowser. ARSC is licensed
under the GPL, which means it is free (like in "free speech"). It also
comes at no cost (like in "free beer"). You may even use it in your own
software projects.
Chatting with ARSC is very comfortable. If you have a modern browser
with frame support and Javascript support enabled, ARSC makes use of
these technologies. If you have an older browser, or you have
Javascript disabled, or even if you have a browser that does not
support frames, you can still chat with ARSC. Let me say it this way:
With ARSC, chatting on a webpage is possible with every known browser
under the sun that is still in use nowadays.
