mIRC v4.0 documentation, Khaled Mardam-Bey 20/03/96

 Welcome to mIRC v4.0, 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.
  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.
  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.


 How to Install mIRC:

 This package should contain the following files:

 mIRC.exe               16-bit version
 mIRC32.exe             32-bit version
 mIRC.hlp               the helpfile
 readme.txt             this file
 versions.txt           version history

 mIRC.ini               the main ini file
 aliases.ini            the aliases ini file
 popups.ini             the popups ini file
 remote.ini             the remote ini file

 Place all of these files together in a directory.

 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!
