[TPIN] TPIN Chatroom connect instructions - MIRC

[Mike Barry]

    If you would like to avoid installing FireFox browser to use the TPIN
chatroom, follow these instructions.  This will install a Starchat optimized
version of the popular IRC program mIRC on your computer.  It's shareware,
so if you really like it you should pay the small fee after 30 days of using
it.

1 - Go to http://www.starchat.net and click on the StarMIRC button near the
    top-center of the page.

2 - Save the file to your hard disk and then double-click it to install.
OR,
    simply click on the RUN button when it prompts you for the download.

3 - Follow the instructions to install it.  I recommend you just click the
    NEXT button whenever it comes up, and click the YES button when it asks
you
    if it's ok to create the new folder to install mIRC into.  At the end
you
    must click the Exit button to launch MIRC.

4 - Click the CONTINUE button when MIRC launches.

5 - close the Notepad file that pops up.

6 - On the Tools menu click Options.  The mIRC Options dialogue button pops
up.

7 - In the mIRC Options box, look in the left pane.  Connect should be
highlighted.
    If it isn't, click it ONCE.  Then over to your right erase "StarmIRC" in
the 
    Nickname box and enter your nickname.  Enter an alternative nickname in
case
    that one is being used.

8 - In the left pane, click once on Options.  Now, on the right click
"Connect on
    Startup" so that there is a green check in the box next to it.

9 - Now, look lower and you'll see a "Perform..." button.  Click on it.

10 - The Perform box will pop up.  Enter the following text, without quotes,
into
     the box marked "Perform commands:" - "/join #tpin doublec" (again, no
quotes).

11 - Click OK.

12 - Click OK in the mIRC Options box.

13 - Close mIRC by clicking on the red X in the very upper right hand corner
of your
     monitor.

14 - Restart StarMIRC.  Click the CONTINUE button.  

15 - In the upper left hand corner you'll see a small lightning-bolt icon.
It's the
     first icon on the left.  Click it.  You'll then connect to Starchat and
enter
     immediately into the chatroom.  Once you're in there, just type in text
to chat
     in the line at the bottom and hit enter to send!
