I'm no expert on programming, but Gates has a closed sourcecode, so I doubt that mIRC is programmed in "Windows", but be that as it may, I apologize for being vague. I haven't used Dragon; that's why I wanted to know if it would work with mIRC. I do a little scripting and things like time stamping are written in UNIX. That's to be able to program a right mouse contextual menu, etc. Don't know if that is any clearer, but we'll see.
The problem here is that you're throwing terms around with no idea what they mean.
mIRC is coded in C and C++ and is compiled under Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio, as stated on
Khaled's FAQ. That's about as "in Windows" as you can get given that Windows is an operating system and not a programming language. See also:
Windows API mIRC has nothing to do with UNIX (which is also an operating system, and not a programming language) or any UNIX shell (a command-line interface for that OS).
Finally, mIRC scripting is a unique language and also has nothing to do with UNIX. That said, mIRC's time functions are based on the C standard library time functions, which use
UNIX time standard.
