Guess you're right. Sorry about that. I always have been the
experimental type.
However, I thought mIRC was strictly text... I'll start searching for
some explanation...

EUServ1.50 is a -telnet- server, for text. period.
one day it may be more than that, but until then,
doing all these 'wierd' things with it might actually buy
you a few lost clusters and it's NOT recommended to try, nor
is it recommended to entice others to try.
as far as this being a bug, it's not.
this is like saying paint shop pro has a bug in it
because it can't spell check a word perfect document.
if you wish to risk using a tool for the wrong reason,
and bust a knuckle when it slips, that is your perogative.
asking others to do the same is *very* bad form.
if you can connect to EUServ, via 'windows' telnet, TeraTerm,
or any other *telnet* software, (not mud clients, mirc clients,
game clients, or other such thing) and you can type something
that causes EUServ to crash, that would be a bug, and myself
and others would be interested in hearing about it.

D/l'ed v1.64 today at work, and looked at some of the posts Hawke' wrote
about it. Without looking too hard at the code, it seems that this
proggie pretty much works with only .exw files? I hope not, because
with a little needling, it would make a good interface for telnetting to
a dos bbs (using something like Turbocomm to allow the dos program to
use virtual port in winbloze).
Reason I ask is that I have been workin on and off (alot more off!) with
a mud-like bbs game, and I could make it fit the Euserver AND bbs
software with hopefully little modification. The only reason I would
like to be able to interface a bbs thru Euserver is to demo my door on a
bbs, to work out bugs, etc. This would give the game a greater user
base than just having it on Euserver. (Not hoping to make big $$, I
know bbs scene is on life support, just a goal!)
I'm no super genius coder (get very little time, blah) but perhaps I can
hack Euserver to work like this...then again mebbe not!
Merry Christmas!

I think EuServer runs over Winsock... if you can manage to recode it to use
a DOS based TCP stack your done!

Its a funky workaround, but with 2 programs, Turbocomm and Com/ip, you can
get a dos based program to work over the winbloze TCP stack. With Euserver, I
was hoping to be able to leave of the com/ip and therefore not be limited by
just the number of virtual com ports I can set up. I don't know enough of
networking nor TCP/IP to make me dangerous, but it seems something of this
nature could be done.
For example, for awhile I ran dos based Telemate (comm program) with turbocomm
and com/ip and was able to telnet with dial up networking. With Euserver I
wanted the ability for more 'ports' but alas I will be limited now by the 28.8
connection I have...wish we had cable modems here.
Merry Christmas!!
