Private conversations

IRC allows you to have private one on one conversation with other people on the network. This is done by sending private messages using the /MSG & /NOTICE commands. When another party sends a private message to you, Vortec will open a new message window. You can then hold the private conversation by simply typing in that window, as any text you enter in that window is sent only to that person. Each private message window will display the nickname of the person to whom the conversation is with in the caption. An easy way to start a private message conversation is to double-click the nickname with whom you want to chat.

You can also have private conversations using the DCC CHAT features. DCC allows a greater degree of insured privacy, since the conversation is not passed through the IRC network. You can start a DCC CHAT conversation by either using the /DCC CHAT command, or by selecting the person name from a channel names list, right clicking the mouse and selecting the DCC CHAT command from the popup menu.
