You must have me confused with someone else: I've never IRC'd in my life ! I'm the one who
"complains a lot" ( _someone_ has to pick up the slack when the Duck is not available . . . . ).

Anyway, I just recently found out that Mozilla is supposed to have some sort of IRC feature
built-in. If it's any good, perhaps that could be all you need ?

In regard to ZTree, my experience has been that the *easiest* way to update it -- on either the OS/2
platform or the Win-32 one, where I use it also -- is from a Maintenance Partition for that
platform. Doing this cross-border like that avoids the files-in-use thing, and is one-step
straightforward. It's a way to use your familiar file-manager to update itself, which is otherwise
not possible. You can also move the prior version files into a backup archive or directory, while
you're at it, just in case you have some issue with the new versions. Right now, I'm running 1.94a
only in my ECS partition, where it is doing a few weird and flakey things. I'm going to try the
Keyboard logging thing that Steven suggested, but if there was some issue attributable to my
keyboard, I'm wondering why it never manifested with any previous version of ZTree . . . and I've
tried the great majority of them as they came out.
