- 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!
