mIRC 6.16

mIRC v6.16 Released

» http://www.mirc.com

* What is New in version 6.16?

Released July 7th, 2004.

With this release we hope to address the most important comments,

and remarks we received after the release of the previous version.

We tried to focus on fixing things like the (few) freeze/gpf issues

relating to SJIS/JIS and while/continue/break statements in scripts,

as well as a handful of others - making the mIRC 6 series very stable.

Only a few new features and functions have been added.

Some changes are obvious, some need getting used to - please take your

time to play with them and see how they work. May we invite you to

the Message Board on the website with all questions you might have?

The board offers great help with everything related to mIRC!

Thanks for using mIRC, lots of fun on IRC,

Tjerk Vonck.

Got any links on IRC info? I don't quite understand it.. and I like to understand things :D

I know it's Internet Relay Chat, but is that it? I hear people using it for many things. Just curious.

I'll tell you my experience.

You connect to IRC servers (normally port 6667).

There are "channels" (like chat rooms) that begin with a hash.

So we have the server ie. : irc.freenode.net

And the Channel ie. : #slackware

You can send files to each other, and there are bots setup for file sharing (some legal, some not).

Nickserv is where the nicknames are registered.

Chanserv is where the channels are registered.

To create your own channel just type /join #channelname and then register it.
