mIRC Users

mIRC users should not have a problem in TurboIRC . The event mechanism is described well in Pirch Users . TurboIRC has lots of features already found in mIRC . This section shows you how mIRC identifiers are translated in TurboIRC

• Time & Date identifiers are covered by $day , $_hour , $minute $second $year $month and UNIXTime , SecondsToTime and GetTickCount() functions .
• Text and number functions are covered like these :

1. $abs -> abs()
2. $asc -> asc()
3. $calc -> You can directly make calculations
4. $chr -> chr()
