Users have often requested this for previous versions of mIRC, however it is not easy to backport when there are hundreds of subtle internal changes between version releases. In the case of v7.x it would be even more difficult since porting mIRC to Unicode has required over a year of work and tens of thousands of changes to the source code. It would be incredibly time-consuming to track down the differences in the source code between v6.35 and v7.x to see where changes and fixes were made that could be applied to v6.35. The
versions.txt file for v7.x only lists two to three hundred feature-related changes, however the actual number of internal changes is enormous.
Apart from that, I put a huge amount of work into each new version of mIRC and I just do not have the energy or time to then go back to older versions and put in a similar amount of work into them all over again.
It would be much easier to implement codepage support in v7.x (or at least I think it would be, I have not looked into it. Since mIRC is fully Unicode now, there may be side-effects or issues that are not immediately apparent), which is something I would rather not do at this time for the reasons I have listed in my previous posts.
