IRC Software


To begin your journey into the wonderful world of IRC, you will need to have a program called an IRC Client. There are many of these clients available for you to choose from. Some are listed below with links to their homepages, where you can get further detailed information on them. Also be sure to get the 32bit version of the program you choose if you have Win95/NT® and the 16bit for Win3.x®


Windows Clients

mIRC


As of today mIRC is the leader of all Internet Chat Clients. This program was created by a Gentleman named Khaled Mardam-Bey. By far mIRC is the most user-friendly of all chat clients available. The program comes with all the help files you will need and is very easy to learn and use. You may download this program off my own instructional web page by clicking Here, Or you can vist the mIRC Official Home Page at: http://www.mirc.co.uk, and if that site is busy you may try http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/6000/.

Pirch

Pirch is another great chat client that ranks right up there with mIRC. This particular client is recomended for a user who has had some IRC expierence. The novice might have a bit of dificulty understanding what some of the unique features are, but it's worth trying out. Pirch is definately another top rated IRC chat client and is a strong contender for the number one spot. You may download this program by visiting the Pirch Official Home Page at: http://www.pirchat.com/.

Mac Clients

Since we do not use a MacIntosh computer, we have no use and little (if any) knowledge about the chat clients that are used by them. We are, however including the names and homepage addresses for these Mac clients, just in case you happen to be part of that dying breed known as "The Mac User".
