I'm writing this Chat server/client for my own benifit..
Don't mean to be selfish, but it's a learning curve..
Can't learn if I don't try..
If it's good enough, I'll prolly release it, if only for a demo of how 
to use euLibnet..

I do like mIRC, and I DO use it, in fact I had learned a BIT of mIRC 
script last year,even wrote some of my own..
Stopped learning it though, after I realized that there isn't much 
market for it..
But I still want to code my own. Prolly will be modelled after mIRC 
considering it's the best there is..

I'm hoping I'll be able to connect it to IRC servers, the user would 
choose which one..

I am by no means, trying to surpass or even remotely come close to 
accomplishing what mirc does.. sure would be nice though! :)
