If you want to make some changes, you can customize mIRC, or use DLL's to customize it even more. Saves you the trouble of creating an IRC client from scratch. Just a thought... Gone.

Building a scripting language inside the client is another topic much more advanced than just fidling with sockets to print out data to a window. David DCX - Dialog Control eXtension

(No emphasis on "like", meaning he just wants to build an IRC client.) 2) How can I build an IRC client like mIRC? (Emphasis on "like", meaning he wants to build an IRC client with features similar to mIRC.)

" so i say "on" a PC or even a MAC, well any computer i guess, would be the ON bit. How is more like "if u dont know how, dont try", aka "if u dont know how to change a fuel pump, then dont try to change the one in the porsha"
