Mirc Program
Martin Glow
mIRC (Arabic: إم آي آر سي) is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for Windows. It is a fully functional chat utility and its integrated scripting language makes it extensible and versatile.[3] The software was first released in 1995 and has since been described as "one of the most popular IRC clients available for Windows."[3] mIRC is shareware and requires payment for registration after the 30-day evaluation period.[4]
mIRC was created by Khaled Mardam-Bey,[5] a British programmer born in Jordan to a Syrian father and a Palestinian mother.[6][7] He began developing the software in late 1994, and released its first version on 28 February 1995.[8]
Mardam-Bey states that he decided to create mIRC because he felt the first IRC clients for Windows lacked some basic IRC features. He then continued developing it due to the challenge and the fact that people appreciated his work. The author states that its subsequent popularity allowed him to make a living out of mIRC.[9] He also jokingly states that the "m" in mIRC stands for "moo" or "MU" (meaning 'nothing' in Japanese and Korean).[10]
mIRC has a number of distinguishing features. One is its scripting language which is further developed with each version. The scripting language can be used to make minor changes to the program like custom commands (aliases),[3] but can also used to completely alter the behavior and appearance of mIRC. Another claimed feature is mIRC's file sharing abilities, via the DCC protocol, featuring a built-in file server.[14]
mIRC's abilities and behaviors can be altered and extended using the embedded mIRC scripting language. mIRC includes its own GUI scripting editor,[3] with help that has been described as "extremely detailed".[3]
I currently use xchat as my default IRC program, but I don't really like GUIs, I prefer TUIs, is there an IRC program out there which has a TUI rather than a GUI? I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

The university owns the rights to most of the material held by MIRC and relies in part on licensing revenues to offset the expense of caring for archival film materials. Licensing fees and agreements vary based upon the duration of footage licensed, the nature of the work in which they will be included, and the size of the audience the work is expected to reach.
New! NIRI Launches the IR Foundations and IR Advanced certificate programs. These standalone programs are intended for a wide range of professionals in the IR profession. There has been a demand from IR corporate practitioners and IR counselors for alternative pathways to earning the IRC certification since its introduction, and NIRI now offeres these new stackable credentials that canlead to earning the IRC. Refer to the IR Credentialing Handbook for additional information.
Irvine Ranch Conservancy volunteers require dedication to the land. These individuals complete a high caliber training program that is a combination of natural history, public interaction, field skills, stewardship, and other naturalist qualifications on behalf of landowner partners. Volunteers are able to choose specific field(s) of focus for their training, including trail guide, docent, trail boss, land steward, farm volunteer, and more.
The IRC-Certified Volunteer Program is for those who are 18 years and older and it is thorough. This is for the benefit of the public and the land. In recognition of the safety of participants, all volunteers are trained in CPR and First Aid. Volunteers are specially trained in emergency care techniques for urban wilderness environments and have passed background safety checks.
The Conservancy prides itself on a volunteer program that is both rewarding and challenging. The first step is to become a support volunteer for our hiking, mountain biking, equestrian, trail maintenance, or stewardship programs. This entails roughly 30 hours of education and skills training, including 8 hours of CPR and First Aid certifications.
Support Volunteers are encouraged to pursue advanced training in order to become a Lead Volunteer for public programs. The Conservancy offers advanced training in many areas including group management and leadership, mountain bike skills, equine sensory and first aid training, invasive control, and native plant restoration techniques.
Established in 2005, Irvine Ranch Conservancy is a non-profit, non-advocacy organization created to help care for the permanently protected wildlands and parks on the historic Irvine Ranch. The Conservancy actively manages nearly 30,000 acres of land in partnership with landowners such as OC Parks, City of Irvine and City of Newport Beach.
CTP is a stand-alone program that provides all the processing features of a MIRC site for clinical trials in a highly configurable and extensible application. It connects to FieldCenter applications and can also connect to MIRC sites when necessary. CTP has the following key features:
To run the installer, the Java 1.7 (or better) JRE must be present on the system. Java 1.8 is recommended because earlier versions are being sunset by Oracle/Sun. Java and all its components are available through the Java website. Note that only the JRE is required, not the JDK. If you plan to run CTP as a Windows service or if you plan to use the Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools (see below), then you must install the 32-bit Java, even on a 64-bit computer.
For convenience, it is recommended (but not required) that a folder called JavaPrograms be created in the root of the disk drive. The installer does not create this folder, but if it is present, the installer will very quickly find it and suggest installing CTP in a subdirectory of JavaPrograms. This is especially helpful when upgrading.
Certain CTP pipeline stages (FileStorageService, BasicFileStorageService, DicomDecompressor, and others) require that the Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools be present on the system. If you already have the ImageIO Tools installed, note that it is critically important that version 1.1 of the ImageIO Tools be installed rather than version 1.0. Parenthetically, note that the Java Advanced Imaging component is not the same as the Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools. Only the latter component is required. (Macintosh users should read ImageIO Tools for Macintosh in the Notes section.) When the CTP installer runs, it checks several parameters of the system and highlights ones that are not correct for the running of CTP. One such parameter is the version of the ImageIO Tools. The ImageIO Tools need not be present in order to run the installer, and they may be installed later if required, without having to re-install CTP.
Note also that the CTP installer includes the ImageIO Tools for Windows 32-bit Java only, so on such systems, you can skip the installation of the ImageIO Tools, but that will make the tools only available for CTP, not for other applications. If you are planning to install certain other RSNA DICOM tools (for example, DicomEditor), it is best to install the ImageIO Tools directly in Java using the installer provided in Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools.
The default memory configuration is sufficient for all but the very largest sites. For sites with 2000 or more teaching file cases, the Maximum memory pool parameter should be increased to 500. For sites with more than 3000 cases, 750 is recommended. To change the memory configuration for the Windows service, see the article.
The Extensions directory parameter is intended for special applications in which third-party software is added into the system. One such application is the NCI's National Biomedical Image Archive (NBIA). Normal teaching file systems do not require this parameter.
Across the top of the dialog are several tabs providing access to information about the versions of the components, the system parameters in use by Java as the program runs, and any messages output by the program either directly or through its log file. These are only present as a convenience; they are not typically used in normal operation.
CTP has no user interface. When the program starts, it runs without intervention. Status and other information can be obtained through the program's integrated webserver. Accessing the server with no path information displays a page presenting buttons for each of the servlets.
When the program is first installed, two users are provided. One user, with the name admin and password password, is intended for general system administration. The other user, with the name king and password password, has the ability to shut down the server through the browser interface. Both users have the ability to create and modify users and assign privileges through the User Manager, but only a user with the shutdown privilege can grant the shutdown privilege to another user.
To stop the program, click the Stop button on the Launcher, or log in as a user with the shutdown privilege and click the Shutdown button on the main page. As a convenience, a user with the admin privilege can also shut the server down if the user's browser is running on the same computer as the server.
The program uses two configurable files: config.xml, which is located in the same directory as the program itself, and index.html, which is located in the server's ROOT directory. Both files are intended to be configured for the specific application. The installer does not overwrite these files when it runs; instead, it installs two example files: example-config.xml and example-index.html. When CTP starts, it looks to see if the non-example files are missing, and if so, it copies the example files into the non-example ones. This process allows upgrades to be done without losing any configuration work. After installing the program the first time, it should be run once in order to make the copies, and then the copies can be configured. Configuration is done by hand with any text editor (e.g., TextPad or NotePad). Care should be taken, especially with config.xml, to keep it well-formed. Opening it with a program like InternetExplorer will check it for errors.
