How to use mIRC
guide:
mIRC is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for Microsoft Windows,
created in 1995 and developed by Khaled Mardam-Bey. Although it is a
fully functional chat utility, its integrated scripting language makes
it extensible and versatile.
mIRC has been downloaded over twenty million times from CNET's
www.download.com service[2]. Nielsen//NetRatings also ranked mIRC among
the top ten most popular Internet applications in 2003.
It is unknown if the "m" in mIRC stands for Mardam-Bey or anything (the
author's personal FAQ explains that "it quite possibly stands for
'moo', or perhaps even MU"). The author pronounces it "m-I-R-C", or
"mirk" for short.
The first thing to do is obviously to Download mIRC.
At the writing of this guide, the current version of mIRC is 6.12.
After downloading mIRC, the next set would be to install it. It's a
simple process, and takes just a couple of minutes. If you need help on
installing mIRC, please refer to the mIRC documentation found here.
Now that you've gotten mIRC downloaded and installed, its time to start
up mIRC, and get it set up so you can connect to the network we use, as
well as the channel.
The first thing you will see when you start up mIRC, is the mIRC
Options page.
Fill in the full
name, using anything you want. You can use your real name, your forum
name, or whatever.
Below that is your email address. I strongly suggest that you do not
enter your email address in here. You need to enter something, and it
needs to be in the format of an email address. What you use is up to
you.
Below that is Nickname, enter in here what you want to be known as in
the IRC Channel. You should use the name part from your email address
as your nickname. Best thing to do here is to use your forum nick for
both. This also helps so people know who you are. For example, if you
enter the email ffrealm@mirc.net, then your Nickname would be ffrealm.
The Alternative blank
below that will be what your nick will be should someone else be using
your name. - Don't worry, we'll show you how to register your nickname
later on so only you can use it.
If you're lost then : then type : /server irc.webchat.org and then
/join #finalfantasy
After that you can choose your nicname by typing : /nick YOurName
