Traditionally IRC servers have sent terse messages to clients, and then the client has interpreted it. It would be better to talk to client developers and script developers to update this. Eg, for a script "You cannot join #foo, as you aren't logged into this networks channel services, would you like to login to channel services and try again? [ Yes - log me in and rejoin the channel ] [ No - I don't want to go there anymore ] " - -- Dishonor will not trouble me, once I am dead. -- Euripides -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Only when you are sure they have you, can you stop being paranoid iD8DBQE+9OuxcAgRpy8z8UQRAunXAKDDkogAHI+AympwdZbgV2Wg3jjMnACfYm7G 5Tq7KrCR4yvA50Ucu4kHo6E= =egXF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
