mIRC v2.8c 16bit

Author: Khaled Mardam-Bey
Release: 26/03/95
Description: Welcome to mIRC v2.8c, an IRC client for Windows.


26/03/95 - mIRC v2.8 etc...

Bug Fixes/Additions:
1. Added wild cards for auto-op.
2. If a user changes nicks while in a query to you and they are on
the same channel as you, mIRC uses the nickname change notification
to update the query window name so you can keep talking to the person.
3. When a query is received and it is iconized, the icon is placed
above all other windows so you can see it.
4. Scroll bars have been made a standard size and moved a little bit to
make them look neater.
5. ban command now has 4 levels of ban. eg. /ban <nickname> <number>
where <number> is a value 0 to 3.
6. The /server command can now take Port and Password parameters.
for example, /server irc.server.co.uk 6667 password
7. Added "Use Dedicated Message Window" option. private messages go
only to this window.
8. "Notices" work more intelligently now and will appear in a channel
window if sent by someone on that channel. Otherwise they are sent
to the status window as usual.
9. mIRC now listens for identd requests and replies using the
userid part of your email address as a UNIX system.
10. Font and Window position can now be saved for the Message Window
and logging/saving to proper filename now.
11. Was GPFing on a nick collision. Oops :)
12. Added channel modes to ban list routine. Much more useful now!
13. Added context-sensitive F1 help key.
14. Added new alias parameter type.
$$ = parameter MUST be filled. If it is not filled, command is not executed.
Before,  /whois $1     was executed even if no parameter was given.
Now,   /whois $$1    will only be executed if you supply a parameter.
15. Can now also do   $$?1   or $?1   which means, try to fill this
value with parameter one if it exists. If parameter one doesnt exist,
ask for it.
16. Fixed problem with copy/paste routine. MUCH faster now.
17. Fixed font problem with text not showing in Editbox when in windows
screen with large font setting.
18. Added DCC Resume capability. non-standard.
19. Allows multiple select in ban list.
20. Fixed dialog positioning when in different screen modes.
21. Added option to prefix own messages with own nick.
22. Would crash if popup menu definition was incomplete. fixed.
23. Double-click in a query window does a /whois.
24. Added small popup menu to channel list window.
