For experimentation, try the 10 year old mIRC v6.35 which is still an official download. If the installer doesn't work in Raspbian, try to just extract the mirc.exe file as that is the only file which is needed to run. (mIRC is very portable in that regard.)

Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
