 Getting HydraIRC
Getting
HydraIRC couldn't be easier, just download the first item in the table below,
all the other files are optional extras.
Donations
Please remember that HydraIRC is created in my free time. If you would like me to spend more time writing HydraIRC then please make a donation!
Donated funds go towards such things as domain hosting, web hosting, pc
hardware and software, programming books, keeping a roof over my head,
putting food on my table, and maybe the odd Lego toy.
Notes
Don't forget to read the README.TXT file when you've downloaded it!
New users and users that are upgrading are advised to check out the CHANGES.TXT
files below while you're waiting for your download to complete - this contains
most of the current documentation.
To install HydraIRC, just download the HydraIRC.exe file, and double click it,
this will then run the installer.
Upgrading
If you're upgrading to a new version don't worry, all your settings are preserved!
Just install HydraIRC again and you'll see a tick-box becomes available in the
installer which reads "Preserve Settings", leave this ticked to preserve
your settings, or if you want to do a clean install then un-tick it.
If you're manually upgrading (without using the installer) then backup your
"profile_default.xml" file (and "HydraIRC.xml" if you've changed it manually),
unzip, then restore "profile_default.xml". (Both in the default "C:\Program Files\HydraIRC" folder)
Note
Don't be fooled by the low version number, HydraIRC is already 100% stable
and already very mature. The low number represents a percentage of the
features from my long feature list that are currently implemented.

Minimum System Requirements:
HydraIRC has been designed for use on Windows XP but also runs on Windows
98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 & Windows 2003. (Windows 95 and Windows NT are
not supported).
 There is no real minimum specification, as HydraIRC consumes very little ram,
requires almost no CPU time and needs hardly any disk space!
HydraIRC runs best in 16 or 32bit display modes. (See the Advanced tab
of the Display Properties in the Windows Control Panel)
