ET Epicware has announced the release of Fire version 0.16a.
Fire is a flexible chat program that supports multiple Internet chat protocols.
The software is available for Apple's Mac OS X Public Beta. Fire can communicate simultaneously through each protocol, and will soon support MSN's instant message network as well, according to the author. Fire is one of several Mac OS X and OS X Server-compatible applications developed by Epicware. Other titles include OS X Server conversions of the once-popular games Doom II, Hexen, Heretic, and an OS X Server variation on Minesweeper. Fire is distributed as freeware and requires Mac OS X Public Beta to work.
