Internet Ralay Chat is a system of servers linked so that in "Real time"
you can type messages to people around the world.

To do this you need suitable IRC software and a TCP/IP internet
connection. (e.g. Mirc or WS-irc for the PC or homer for the mac).
and read the help files.

It is similiar, I believe, to the chat rooms on the large BBSs like AOL
or Compu$pend. Another analogy is like the channels on CB radio.

So once you have the software you can join various channels. There is
one called #aroma which ready for use. 

The idea of using #aroma is to enable those of us interested in
Complimantary health, esp Aromatherapy, to meet and type/chat.

to ensure you will be on the same irc system as me, :-), use the server
irc.demon.co.uk port 6667.
