Pat is a cross platform Winlink client with basic messaging capabilities.
It is the primary sandbox/prototype application for the wl2k-go project, and provides both a command line interface and a responsive (mobile-friendly) web interface.
It is mainly developed for Linux, but is also known to run on OS X, Windows and Android.

Gzip message compression has been added as an experimental B2F extension. The extension is implemented as a backwards compatible alternative to the ancient LZHUF compression.
This experiment is enabled by default and sessions between two Pat nodes (or other software supporting this B2F extension) will use gzip compression when transferring messages.
For more information, see https://github.com/la5nta/wl2k-go#gzip-experiment.
