mIRC v5.31 introduction, Khaled Mardam-Bey 04/01/98
Welcome to mIRC, 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 them 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! J
Khaled
