Yes that is one possible way, but it would still require major work, and rewriting some major parts afair. There is a reason to why AmIRC only supports the irc standard and that is to make it easy to use and keep it simple for programmers. I've always been netcentric with the plugins i've written since there is no point in going to all nets and add workarounds... It's to much work.. Besides, the RFC allows for full compliance on all nets just that you won't see the special thingymagin that the ircd hackers has dreamed up. Personally i think that color filtering belongs in the client not the ircd. //Ian Kumlien ___________________________________________________________________ AmIRC Mailing List - http://www.vapor.com/amirc/ AmIRC FAQ......: http://faq.vapor.com/amirc/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
