## Description ##

After establishing a DCC CHAT connection that you initiated, you might
encounter some protocol issues if the target is using mIRC.

If you or your target sees some unexpected output or behavior inside a DCC
    CHAT session, use this command to enable mIRC compatibility mode.

When receiving a connection from an mIRC user, the compatibility mode will
automatically be enabled.
