* How to upgrade? mIRC is distributed in a self-extracting cabinet (mirc615.exe) that helps you to install mIRC on your PC. Simply download the cabinet and run the installer. Follow the instructions the installer program gives to you. When upgrading all your old settings and scripts will stay as they were, if you want that. Read the questions the installer program asks with care and nothing can go wrong. You will be chatting with the new mIRC in no time. If you get stuck or if you want to find out more about a certain feature, just click on a Help button or browse the Help file and you should find lots of hints to help you out. * Where to download? For the latest download addresses just go to the mIRC website. As a special service to you we included some links below where mIRC is available already; Holland ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/software/mirc/mirc615.exe Italy http://mirc.extracon.it/mirc615.exe New York http://mirc.kragoth.com/mirc615.exe Iceland http://mirc-mirror.simnet.is/mirc615.exe Singapore http://mirc.vodien.com/mirc615.exe South Africa http://www.mirc.co.za/download/mirc615.exe Texas http://www.gower.net/mirc/mirc615.exe United Kingdom http://ftp.newnet.co.uk/pub/mirrors/mirc/mirc615.exe South Korea http://mirc.zice.net/mirc615.exe Australia http://mirror.pacific.net.au/mirc/mirc615.exe On the mIRC websites also the new mIRC FAQ version 57 (mfaq57hp.zip) is available. The FAQ answers a lot of questions regarding mIRC, IRC, DCC and the like. It also includes a tutorial on Aliases, Popups and on 'programming' the Tools/Remote section. * Shareware. As you might know mIRC is shareware. It can be downloaded freely and evaluated for 30 days. Assuming you find that you enjoy using mIRC, and you continue to use it, you have to register your copy. This licenses you to keep your copy of mIRC and it supports our continued work on mIRC. Khaled offers a one time registration, which works with all future versions of mIRC. You will never need to register again. At this moment all sales of mIRC will be donated to M�decins Sans Fronti�res (Doctors without Borders), one of the most well-known and outspoken independent humanitarian organizations, whose stand on humanitarian issues and work in assisting those in need has won it much praise over the years. With millions of mIRC users around the world, it would be great to see a few thousand register this month to support this fund-raiser. If you enjoy using mIRC and haven't registered yet, and have $20 or so to spare for a good cause, please consider registering this month! * Fixes, improvements and new features. With this release we hope to address the most important comments, requests and remarks we received after the release of version 6.14. The new version fixes quite a few small bugs found in the previous versions. We tried to focus on fixing things, making the mIRC 6 series more an more sturdy, and only few new features and functions have been added. - SJIS/JIS support and various multi-byte display/mark/copy issues have improved, - the 'reload' logs feature has improved to make sure it reloads the correct log files, - support for SSL has improved to make sure mIRC always uses an SSL port when reconnecting if it was using one in the prior connection, and some issues with SSL key files and SSL root certificates have been solved, - a small memory leak has been plugged, port selection for DCC and other connections works more smoothly, and issues with random port selection, the /fserve maxgets limit, and DCC Get via http proxy/socks are solved. There are heaps of changes and improvements in this new version. Please read the help file in mIRC and the whatsnew.txt on the website to learn about the complete list of changes and their impact. 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? The board offers great help with everything related to mIRC! Thanks for using mIRC, lots of fun on IRC, Tjerk Vonck. ________________________________________________________ * What is this mailing list and how can you unsubscribe?
