yes. Firstly you need to get the admin to install and run an Xwindows server. You can then install wine (a windows emulator) on it. You'll also need to be actually able to use this xserver, which means you need an xterminal (Hummingbird eXceed, the only real Xterminal for windows woth looking at, retails at around 600 US dollars). Xsessions take a lot of bandwidth though, so unless you have a 10mbit connection between you and the shell I wouldn't advise even trying.
Maybe you should consider writing the script in something other than mircscript - it would be quicker and cheaper than setting this up :razz:

no no no no no and no! mirc32.exe is a WINDOWS program... ie. it runs under windows :wink: all that Xwindows stuff is just a pain in the ass really *shrug* never used it myself but it sounds complicated enough...
use BitchX
with a bit of luck, your shell server admin has BitchX installed and in which case just type

BitchX server.irc.org:6667

and you'll be on irc from your shell... normal irc commands such as /quit and /join all work but mirc alises such as /j wont work...

at least.. thats what i do

I think there is someway in which you can use mIRC thru a shell. But I dont remember quite well, The technique is called ssh tunelling, wherein you need to edit some ports in the ssh servr or some thing like that. It also needs an ssh terminal. No, not those crt terminals. It's something else. And when you're done with editing out the ports and some settings for that shell (you need to be logged on) on the terminal we're using..
All you've to do it type /server localhost 6667 or some port which the shell is listening on and log on to the irc network.


This has been told to me by a fren, and i used this technique an year back.. but i dont remember quite about it now. If i get him online, I'll find out and also let you know about that software.

you're talking about bncs, which is not what the guy asked about. he was asking about running win32 binaries on a unix based architecture (I'm gonna assume he meant i386 archs, trying to emulate i386 win binaries support on anything else is very very hard)
