Sure there are numerous alternatives for Linux (X-Chat, Bitch-X, etc.) but I like mIRC more; and I guess many other ppl do so. It's really weird why no-one hasn't made a mIRC client for linux... Okay I can run mIRC with wine(x) but still a native linux app would be better My ally is the compiler, and a powerful ally it is!

I forget when it was first released but its been a pretty long time and it still only accounts for about 5% of total usage, meaning desktops and servers combined. As for your second remark, there's no flame that I can see, just a link to the official mIRC website explaining that there NEVER will be a port of mIRC for other operating systems. The subject of mIRC4Linux does appear fairly often but the author probably can't make his intentions any clearer.

I tryed that a while ago, but i prefere to telnet to a nix comp and use the real thing if ($me != tired) { return } \| else { echo -a Get a pot of coffee now $+($me,.) }
