I dont really see what your saying here honstly

however now you mention it, I seem to remember something about a change to allow mirc to abourt a filter operation that was being sent to an alias using -k, either it was int he watsnew file or mybe it was only a feature sggeston someone brought up? cant remember.

I think it was something like, wanting to be able to filter results but abort after collecting so many, which would be a lot faster than using $read or $fline. Fiberoptics name rings abell in connection to this, but don quot me on that either.

anyone able to lend a mention of this?
