Its not backwards. In the replies to a whois, the parameters are given first and the text/description is given last. This allows clients and server admins to change "is logged in as" to whatever they want, as the information needed is always in the first parameter, the rest just contains a description text. Its done the same way for idle and signon, the reply is: :server 317 source target (idletime) (signontime) :seconds idle, signon time -- - Lee H <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> // fl_ @ ircnet - - Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain, and most fools do. - - Benjamin Franklin
