mIRC is a graphical standalone client for Windows which is very popular[6] and Shareware licensed[4]. The user may choose to pay for the program, but after the trial period ends the client doesn't lose any of its functionality. mIRC is often extended and enhanced using its built in scripting language MSL or using dlls[7].
mIRC has passed the 150 million download mark.[8]
MSL
mIRC has its own scripting language called mIRC scripting language (or MSL) which can modify the client's appearance and also add new functionality.[9]
