It''s possible to make your own chat system with Visual Basic and DirectPlay; however, you probably won''t be able to make an IRC client with DirectPlay. Try the VB Winsock component instead for that. If you wanted to create your own chat system, the DirectPlay documentation that is part of the SDK should provide sufficient information to do so.
