This IRC INTRO file focuses on situations a typical user on a Windows based IRC client may face. This restricion eliminates a lot of hassle (and their solutions) the average IRC user on UNIX has to cope with. In this file you will not find info on the UNIX command “set” (set NOVICE off, set SCROLL_LINES 2) or similar commands since you don’t need them in Windows. I’m sure you dont want to be bothered by ‘ vt100 compatible terminals’, ‘How to scrollback using special key bindings’ and ‘UID PID PPID’. Also, all references to .ircrc and similar files are filtered out or where needed replaced by their Windows equivalent.
