They are both multi-protocol instant messengers, and connect using
basically the same libraries, except that Proteus doesn't handle IRC.
Recently though I felt that there's an extra relationship as when certain
connection-based bugs get stomped out in CVS for Fire, guess what program
comes out with a bug-fixing update the next day? Basically, the two
programs exist for people who feel there are better ways of doing the
interface. Update-wise, Fire attempts to release with as few bugs as
possible (and as a result end up releasing not-so-rapidly, but obtain a
lot of new features in the process). Proteus updates often, with fewer
features per update, but fixes bugs for the public a bit faster (but again,
Fire doesn't release as many bugs to the public ;) ). I hope that helps.
