Pirch98 on Windows 10?

So like probably many of you, I was on IRC a lot in the early 00s, and
Pirch98 was my client of choice. I came across a copy of it in one of
my backup folders recently and thought, “hmm I wonder if this works on
Windows 10, all these years later...” and sure enough, it worked
without a hitch. My question is, are there security vulnerabilities
using a stable client from 20 years ago on a new OS like I am?

Bonus question: how can I access my old tripod page to get my Pirch
scripts!? Looks like archive.org won’t show old tripod member pages
:-/

I would ditch pirch and use AdiIrc if i were you.

Agreed! Was never as popular as MIRC but it was awesome!

Pirch98 was cool.. that was my very first client back when TalkCity
was still around. :)
