Man. all those code.. is this client ever to become production? (like
mIRC etc) if so, write a decent parser before you do other things...
this parser would be a piece of code dedicated to breaking the string
into tokens, checking length, recognising the command, etc. look at the
parser of ircu for example; a client's parser doesnt have to differ too
much from a server's parser.
