I had a little look around and found a couple of usefull IRC related documents, there's the specs at: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1459.html And a page about using Telnet to access IRC at: http://www.daemonnews.org/199907/irchack.html I tried using telnet and it works fine, you need to also send the: NICK username command after the USER command though (at least on irc.sorcery.net where I tried it) Anyway, if it can be accessed by telnet then it shouldn't be to hard to access by euphoria :) Thomas Parslow (PatRat) ICQ #:26359483 Rat Software http://www.rat-software.com/ Please leave quoted text in place when replying
