mIRC v4.72 documentation, Khaled Mardam-Bey 09/01/97
Welcome to mIRC v4.72, an Internet Relay Chat Client.
For those of you new to the internet, IRC stands for Internet
Relay Chat. The IRC network is a virtual meeting place where
people from all over the world can meet and talk.
mIRC attempts to provide a user-friendly interface for use
with the IRC network.
It has the following features:
Coloured text to ease reading.
Uncluttered display.
Comprehensive Alias definitions.
Configurable multi-level popup menus.
DCC Send/Get/Chat/Resume.
Scripting commands.
Finger client.
Remote CTCP tool.
Simple Event handler.
Some basic fonts.
Ident server.
Simple File-server.
URL Catcher.
Command history.
Function Key definitions.
Toolbar with tooltips.
Finger server.
Window Switchbar.
A handful of options.
Many other useful bits and pieces.
The various parts of this client have been designed with the aim of
simplifying and speeding an IRC session.
To be able to use mIRC, you need several things:
1. Access to the internet.
2. Software for your machine that connects you to the internet.
mIRC requires a WINSOCK.DLL, of which several versions are
available. You will need this before you can use mIRC.
Since you're reading this file, then I assume you've already
run the install program and it has installed all the files
for you automatically.
This package should contain the following files:
16-Bit Installation:
mIRC.exe 16-bit mIRC
mLink.exe 16-bit mIRCLink
32-Bit Installation:
mIRC32.exe 32-bit mIRC
mLink32.exe 32-bit mIRCLink
Both 16bit and 32bit Installations:
mIRC.hlp the help file
IRCIntro.hlp the IRC Intro file
readme.txt this file
versions.txt version history
mIRC.ini the main configuration file
aliases.ini the aliases file
popups.ini the popups file
remote.ini the remote file
servers.ini the irc servers file
urls.ini the urls file
These should all remain in the mIRC directory together.
To use the 32-bit version you must be running a 32-bit operating
system and a 32-bit winsock.
Once you have installed mIRC, you can run it, fill in the required
setup information, and connect to the IRC server.
Good luck and have fun!
-Khaled
