Updated: 05/10/2005 |
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 powerful tools and features.
Some features are:
- 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
channels, on different IRC networks.
- Secure connections.
mIRC offers support for secure SSL server connections. mIRC is used by many organizations that need to communicate over secure connections, everything from corporate to governmental. When you depend on secure communications, whether for political, business, or other reasons you can use mIRC and any IRC server that offers you secure access.
- 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
control 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!
