- mIRC v3.2 documentation, Khaled Mardam-Bey 2/05/95
-
- Welcome to mIRC v3.2, an IRC client for Windows.
-
- This program is still under development and has not been
- fully tested. It contains bugs. Use at your own risk. Read
- the disclaimer!
-
- 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.
- A handful of options.
- Uncluttered display.
- Simple aliases.
- Configurable popup menus.
- DCC Send/Get/Chat.
- Some Basic fonts.
- Remote CTCP tool.
- Simple Event handler.
- Ident server.
- Finger client.
- 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.
-
- This client implements only a subset of all IRC2 commands. It was
- designed for users who do not require the sophistication of a full IRC2
- client. That said, it does support, to various degrees, more than 50
- commands, and also includes other mIRC-specific commands.
-
- This client does NOT support: scripts, command history, and a large
- number of other things.
-
- 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.
-
-
- The latest version of mIRC can always be downloaded by ftp from:
-
- ftp.demon.co.uk in /pub/ibmpc/winsock/apps/mirc
-
-
- How to Install mIRC:
-
- This package should contain the following files:
-
- mIRC.exe the program
- mIRC.hlp the helpfile
- mIRC.ini the optional ini file
- readme.txt this file
- versions.txt version history
-
- 1. Place the mIRC.exe and mIRC.hlp files together in any directory.
-
- 2. The mIRC.ini file should be copied to your WINDOWS directory.
- It is not *necessary*, however it does provide important examples
- on how to configure various aspects of mIRC, and I would urge you
- to use it if this is the first time you are using mIRC.
-
- Once you have installed mIRC, run it from windows, fill in the required
- setup information, and connect to the IRC server.
-
- For more information, please read the mIRC help file.
-
- If you feel you really REALLY need to report a bug, or make a comment,
- or give a suggestion, try emailing me at khaled@mardam.demon.co.uk. Don't
- be suprised if a reply takes a while to get to you... I'm probably BUSY
- trying to get my life together!
-
- Good luck and enjoy!
