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...

I guess that *if* you decide to explore IRC you should do it with the best program around, NOT ? And assuming you use windows, (WFW311 or W95/98) thats when you need mIRC....... On the windows platform several programs offer the possibility to use IRC but on this moment none
of them offers the convenience mIRC gives you..

mIRC attempts to provide a user-friendly interface for use with the IRC network with powerfull tools and features. Lets give a small list of those features: 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.

Excellent built in Help ! If there is anything you dont understand ? Hit F1 in mIRC to learn more about whatever built in function or IRC in general... or pick up some additional help files and use mIRC's Unique Dynamic Help system to explore them!!

And others powerfull features!

I think you can only come to one conclusion... Windows + IRC = mIRC
