I feel it would be good to have mirc come up with a version reply that only mirc can give out.

What the bot is doing is basically lying when asked what program/version it is. If mIRC version replies were to change, the next version of the bot would simply have a changed reply too - a new lie. It's yet another kick in the teeth for Khaled from the file-sharers who are attempting to hijack IRC in general and mIRC in particular - making it likely that yet more servers and/or networks will be shut down, so that those using IRC for its intended purpose (CHAT!) lose out because of a bunch of selfish small-time criminals </rant> PastMaster IRCnet & DALnet @#travelersinn :-: IRC for fun and relaxation :-:
