What is a chat client?
A chat client is a software program that allows users to connect to chat
servers and communicate with other users via a chat room. The majority of chat clients are shareware programs
easily downloadable from various sites on the internet, and they are available for a wide variety of computer platforms.
Typically, a chat client supplies the user with a means of connecting to a
chat server, and then the program lets the user communicate with other users via a window where messages are shared.
Most chat clients also have smaller windows which show the number and identity of the other users in the chat room,
and some of the more complex programs even allow users to choose icons and sounds to represent them in the chat
rooms.
A list of chat clients is available on the chat
resources page.
