mIRC is a popular Windows based Internet chat relay client which allows users to communicate, share files, play games or work with other members from around the world on IRC networks via private one-to-one connections or multi-user groups through different servers. mIRC is user friendly, supports file transfers and is fully configurable.
mIRC was created in 1995 to improve on earlier types of IRC clients which developers felt lacked basic IRC features. These extra features included ability to share files, customizable UI and improved scripting to improve the way the client behaves. Over the years user input has contributed to improve the mIRC client with users wanting support for multiple server connections and a change to the way channels and notify lists are displayed, with a treebar format preferred over the default switchbar.
For compatibility - OldVersion.com advises mIRC 6.35 and earlier versions for Windows 95/NT 4.0/98/ME. Later than 6.35 are compatible with Windows 2000 OS and later.
General consensus says that from v6.2+ are most stable, secure and the fastest versions of the mIRC client, 6.xx works great with PCs running older Windows operating systems.
Old versions of mIRC are still functional but are no longer supported with technical or security updates.
Pros: Connect to multiple chat room servers, secure, fast, available for older operating systems.
Cons: Challenging to use for beginners, hard to find old subjects, long queues for servers.

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]
The earliest versions of MIRC were restricted to Microsoft platforms, using IIS as the server (versions 1-9). Starting with version 10, MIRC was rewritten in Java to run on Tomcat. Those versions were denoted with the prefix T (T10-T36).
The Tomcat-based versions supported both teaching files and clinical trials. In the clinical trials application, however, the extra complexity of the Tomcat installation was an impediment, so a special clinical trials application was developed called CTP. CTP contains its own embedded servlet container, providing the necessary capabilities from Tomcat without the need for a separate installation step. It also contains a more capable processing facility and anonymizers that implement the DICOM Supplement 142 de-identification profiles. For more information on CTP, see CTP-The RSNA Clinical Trial Processor.
As experience was gained with CTP, it became clear that it could serve as the servlet container for MIRC, providing both new features and simplified installation. To support MIRC, numerous extensions to CTP were implemented, the most important of which was the development of plug-ins, which provide processing capabilities outside the normal CTP pipelines. MIRC TFS is implemented as a single plug-in in this framework.
MIRC requires that the Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools be present on the system. It is critically important that version 1.1 of the ImageIO Tools be installed rather than version 1.0. You must get the jre version (for Windows, it has a name like jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe), not the one for the CLASSPATH, which does not include -jre in the name.
The installer for MIRC TFS is available on the RSNA MIRC site. Click the Download Software link in the left pane to obtain a list of all the available software. The TFS-installer available on the site includes CTP and all the libraries required to run the teaching files application.
Once Java and the ImageIO Tools are installed, download the installer and place it on the disk on which you intend to install or upgrade the CTP program. Do not run it without downloading it and storing it locally.
Note that TFS is not a stand-alone program; it is a plug-in to CTP in the same way that previous versions of MIRC were webapps that ran under Tomcat. Therefore, it is most correct to speak of running CTP rather than TFS or MIRC, so that terminology is used here.
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.
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.
To stop the program, either click the Stop button on the dialog or log in as a user with the shutdown privilege and click the Shutdown item in the Admin > CTP menu on the main query 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.
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. Most MIRC administrators log in as the admin user.
After installing and starting CTP and MIRC TFS, access the query page, click the Login button to log in as the admin user, and then go to the Admin > User Manager menu item. This will display a page allowing you to add and modify users. To start, check all the boxes in the admin user except shutdown and then click the save icon in the upper right corner of the page. The page will re-display, showing that the changes have been made. You should change the passwords of these accounts at this time as well, using the unlabelled column at the right side of the table. If you need to create accounts for other users, use the blank line at the bottom of the table. Each time the save icon is clicked, a new blank line will appear. When all the changes have been made, click the home icon in the upper right corner of the page to go back to the query page.
TFS has two user interfaces, the Classic UI and the Integrated UI. These present almost the same functionality in two different ways. Each only shows the user those functions that the user's privileges allow him to access.
Individual users can choose their preferred UI and switch between them easily. As the administrator, you can choose the default UI to be presented to an unauthenticated user. To do so, go to the Admin > Query Service Admin menu item. On that page, select the desired radio button in the Default query page user interface field and then click the save button:
On the Query Service Admin page, you can also control which other TFS sites are available to be queried. After making any changes, click the save icon and then click the home icon to return to the main query page.
The SVG viewer is not required for displaying annotated images, only for creating the annotations themselves, so the viewer need only be installed on computers used by authors who wish to create annotations.
In addition to plugins like the one that implements MIRC TFS, CTP supports sequences of processing steps called pipelines. Pipelines are described in CTP-The RSNA Clinical Trial Processor. MIRC employs pipelines to support the reception of DICOM images for the File Service, the DICOM Service, and the TCE Service. The MIRC pipelines are described in MIRC Pipelines. Each service pipeline has its own DICOM Storage SCP. The default ports for these SCPs are:
