Naken Chat is a public chat server written in C (originally in Java). Naken Chat project allows multiple people to connect to it and talk simultaneously to each other or in private messages.
The goal of Naken Chat is to be as small and fast as possible using the least amount of your computer's memory with the most amount of features. The current size of the Naken Chat binary on a Linux box is about 38k after being "stripped".
I've fully tested this program on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Windows 98 and XP, and MacOSX.
The Naken Chat server can be connected to through many different client programs including telnet, a Java applet, Windows clients, and J2ME Naken Chat Client for mobile phones.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Finally found some time to release the latest version. I've been running it on my site for a month after fixing bugs from the pre-release and it seems to be fine. So the code for 2.20 has changed pretty significantly since 2.12. Code has been cleaned up and there is a plugin interface and a sqlite user database.
