RE: Miranda query

Wow. I wasn't aware the IRC plug-in couldn't do any of that yet.  I just
spent some time configuring, and setting up basic aliases.  In addition to
the things you mentioned the IRC plug-in not being able to do yet, I do not
think the IRC plug-in support scripts of any kind.  I can use an IRC bot to
that end, but with MIRC (which I do have yes, and use MIRC Speech with it),
I had scripts in my own copy of the MIRC client.

I was merely attmepting to simplify the number of messenging and chat
clients I had open.  I can't wait for JAWS to speak incoming and outgoing
channel messages with the IRC plug-in.  One other thing I noticed, but
failed to mention about Miranda's IRC plug-in, is that it will not play the
channel message sound one has assigned to the channel message sound event,
unless you are not currently sitting on that particular channel's window.
Did that make any sense?  In otherwords, if I were sitting on a channel with
activity, I wouldn't get any indication there was any activity going on,
unless I got off of the window and sat somewhere else, like on my desktop,
or in the start Menu.
all other sounds play just fine, no matter if I'm sitting on the active
channel or not.  That is very strange.  I suppose it's a bug, and I look
forward to the next release of the IRC plug-in, as well as any updates to
the JAWS scripts.

For what it's worth at this point, the JAWS scripts for Miranda are
fantastic.  I was looking for a replacement for MSN Messenger initially, and
this provides that very nicely.  I was simply attempting to combine more
messenging programs into one, lowering the demands for my system resources.
Thanks for you input Jim.  It's much appreciated.

Hi, there are quite a lot of things that the irc plug in for miranda =
will
not do yet.  For example it will not dcc chat dcc send dcc get ssl =
connect
list channels there for mirc is a better answer for irc.  Now in the =
next
relece the plug in is going to be improved and irc might work better =
with
moranda. =20

I already have MIRC for IRC.  However, it only seemed logical to use the =
IRC
plug-in with Miranda to minimize the need to have multiple programs =
running.
That is one of the benefits of having a program that can access multiple
messengers, no? It's like saying "get Miranda and have all your =
messenger
clients in one place" ... but only use it for ... and then name a =
specific
client like AIM.

Just thought I'd ask.

Hi, there are scripts for miranda that will read your msn messages.  =3D
Miranda is not a good client for irc mirc is much better for irc at this
point =3D this might change in the next relece.  So get mirc for irc and =
get
the =3D scripts for miranda to do your msn messages.  Hth=3D20

I didn't think it would take me long to come up with another question =
=3D for
the group.

I have taken many people's advice, and installed Miranda.  I find it to =
=3D be
pretty good, albeit a few things.  I think there needs to be an IRC =3D
Private Message sound event, so I will know when someone sends a PM =
while
I'm on IRC.  well, actually, there is a sound of sorts.  The default =
sound,
=3D which is a ding for me, will indicate a PM, but I'd like to set =
another,
more realistic sound.  Anyone know how to accomplish this, since there =
isn't
=3D an IRC Private Message sound event under the sounds category? Now, =
here's
another question.  I'm one of those sticklers about JAWS reading =3D =
incoming
messages.  JAWS currently doesn't read incoming and outgoing messages =
=3D for
IRC, or MSN messages, which are the two I'm currently using in Miranda.  =
=3D
How can I go about fixing this, or must I always route jaws to PC. If =
I'm on
IRC, and am in a very active channel, or am playing a game with other =
=3D
users, I will most certainly want to hear all that is going on.  How =
bout if
=3D I'm in multiple channels. Sure I hear the sound I have set for when =
a
message =3D comes in, but then one must go find which channel that sound =
came
from.  =3D Tedious really.  Is there any solution? Thanks
