Cool Matt, I would like to take a look at your script. I dont mind any
program messes. I know mine is no better. Mine has alot further to go. I
dont know tcl but would be interested in getting to know what all an eggdrop
can do since I would at least like to clone those functions.
Paul Tretter
ps. if you got a bot that can grab a channel for me and hold it on efnet I
would appreciate it. I dont have 24/7 capabilities.
