mIRC -- mIRC is a shareware IRC client for
Windows. It is developed and copyrighted by Khaled Mardam-Bey. mIRC is
a highly configurable IRC client with all the goodies other clients on
UNIX, Macintosh and even on windows offer, combined with a *nice* and clean
user interface. mIRC offers full color text lines, DCC File Send and Get
capabilities, programmable aliases, a remote commands and events handler,
place sensitive popup menu's, a great Switchbar, World Wide Web and sound
support, and... a lot more. mIRC is shareware but not crippled in any way...
mIRC provides an user-friendly interface for IRC with powerfull tools and features:
# Multi-server support.
Multi-server support allows you to connect to multiple servers at the
same time. you can easily chat with friends on different chanels, on different
IRC networks.
# A Toolbar with fancy Tooltips.
The Toolbar provides easy access to the most frequently used commands
in mIRC. It guarantees ease of use to new users of mIRC and stimulates
to explore all mIRC's advanced features.
# Programmable Function keys.
The Function keys provide quick access to the commands you use most
frequently... Every command -you- want can be programmed to be launched
by whatever Function key you choose.
# Full support of World Wide Web.
mIRC guarantees easy access to the WWW pages you talk about on IRC
by supporting all three major WWW browsers. Netscape, Mosaic and MS Internet
Explorer can communicate fully with mIRC by use of the by default configured
DDE services. You can even join IRC channels right from the World Wide
Web !
# A Remote CTCP Commands handler.
mIRC leaves it up to you how you want to auto-respond to ctcp commands
given by other people on the net. The fully programmable Client To Client
Protocol Commands Handler gives you all the freedom you want.
# A Simple Events handler.
The Events handler in mIRC completes the automatic skills you can expect
from a good IRC client. It is possible to construct whatever reaction -you-
want to give on what happens around you on (your) channels. Still not beaten
by any other Windows IRC client !
# A built in DCC File Server.
Give your friends fast and easy access to the files you want to share
with them... No hassle, no pain. A fast direct client to client (DCC) connection
will be automatically set up by a simple command, and present the interface
of a simple FTP server to your friends.
# colored text to ease reading.
Bored of the black and white interfaces other IRC clients offer you
?? mIRC offers you smart use of colors to ease up reading of spoken text
and differentiating server and controll messages from it. You can even
send full color messages to other users :-)
# A handful of interface options.
Easy options to set mIRC to behave and show the interface -you- like...
# Uncluttered display, smart use of separate windows.
mIRC's screen routines will built up your screen fast and smooth. The
text in windows, even the dialogs with long lists of commands and/or events
you programmed, and the nicknames in the channels' names lists will pop-up
fast.
# Simple aliases.
Too lazy to type long commands ?? Or you have some long replies or
jokes you use a lot ?? Give them their own short aliases in a very easy
way in the fully configurable alias section. You can even program the Function
keys!
# Configurable popup menus and a programmable menu bar item.
mIRC offers great, fully programmable popup menu's under your right
mouse button... Just a single click away ! You can even program your own
menu bar items. Another thing NO other IRC client offers at the moment...
# Full DCC Send/Get/Chat and DCC Resume !!
mIRC does not limit ANY function.... mIRC is shareware but, even while
you've not yet registered, the DCC functions are fully at your service.
You can send and recieve files and open DCC Chat connections. Also, mIRC
set the standard for a smart and unique DCC Resume protocol fully compatible
with the existing DCC implementations in other clients. More and more clients
support this superb funtionality!

goood old days of UNIX. In mIRC, fingering is provided for fun and the
40+ people ;o) ...and to meet us newbies without a clue even a finger server
has been added to mIRC!
