IRC INTRO FILE FOR NEWBIES USING WINDOWS
April 1996

This IRC INTRO file is ment to introduce IRC to the typical IRC Newbie 
using MS Windows. It is assumed you have an Internet Provider and you 
have some experience with using winsock programs. This intro file focuses 
on IRC itself. It will not go into details about installing or configuring 
the programs you need to use IRC, but if you ever managed to install and 
use programs like WS-FTP, Netscape, Eudora, WS-Archie, Mosaic, WinVN, 
FreeAgent or similar programs, you will not have any trouble understanding 
how to install and use an IRC program (client). Some very good IRC FAQ's 
already exist but they are written around UNIX based IRC clients or handle 
problems and give examples you will never need on a Windows based IRC 
client. That is why this IRC Intro file is made.

This file is available is several formats :

ircintro.zip - windows write (ircintro.wri) format
irci-hlp.zip - windows help (ircintro.hlp) format
irci-txt.zip - plain text (ircintro.txt) format
irci-htm.zip - html (ircintro.htm) format.
