- mIRC v5.1 documentation, Khaled Mardam-Bey 28/08/97
-
- Welcome to mIRC 5.1, an Internet Relay Chat Client.
-
- mIRC attempts to provide a user-friendly interface for use with
- the Internet Relay Chat network. The IRC network is a virtual
- meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and
- talk.
-
- To IRC all you need to do is Connect to a server, Join a channel,
- and Chat!
-
- mIRC will guide you through these initial stages and hopefully
- you'll be chatting in no time. If you get stuck or want to find
- out more about a certain feature, just click on a Help button
- in a window or browse the Help file and you should find lots of
- hints to help you out.
-
- As you become more experienced you can also start configuring
- mIRC's features to suit your own needs and tastes, features such
- as colours, fonts, function keys, aliases, popup menus, scripts,
- sounds and many others.
-
- Remember to visit the mIRC homepage at http://www.mirc.co.uk or
- one of it's mirror sites regularly for the latest information,
- as well as for links to other mIRC and IRC related information
- and websites.
-
- 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.
-
- 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
