Forums Developers mIRC IRC Client - What is it written in?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering what programming language mIRC is written in?

If it is C++, what environment was used? (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++) etc.

Thanks in advance ...

compiled with MSVC++

Thanks for quick reply
- I'm very impressed with this amazing app, runs smoothly with no lag anywhere ... Impressive programming language and environment. Another one I have to learn ! lol

From Khaled's FAQ:

Question: In which language is mIRC written?
Answer: mIRC is written in a mixture of C/C++, in pure win32 code, and compiled under Visual Studio .Net Pro. mIRC was originally developed under Borland C++ v5.02 however.

I used Borland C/C++ v5.02 because it allowed parallel development of 16/32bit code from the same code-base. This isn't important anymore because the 16bit mIRC is no longer being developed.

From the versions.txt:

29/08/2003 - mIRC v6.1
31.Now using Visual C++ .NET 7.0 to compile mIRC.
