mIRC and Swift Switch?

[Viktorkrum77]

Is mIRC and Swift Switch IRC the same IRC? I always just assumed I could talk to someone using SS IRC through mIRC because I always thought IRC was the same no matter where it was used, like how Tip It has a Java version of it, but I can still use that through mIRC. So anyways HELP!!

mIRC is a client used to connect to an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) server. The chat built into SS is an extremely basic IRC client, like mIRC, but without all the bells and whistles. The SS irc client does the same basic things though by connecting and letting you send messages. The Tip.It java chat is also the same basic idea, just built for use on websites instead of as a stand alone client.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connecting to an IRC server from mIRC, SS or a java chat makes no difference, you're still connecting to the same place, just with a different window in front of you. The server you connect to doesn't care as long as it can communicate with whatever program you're using.
