mIRC should have a way in which one could do something like /pipeopen(<pipe name>, <binary executable>, [<command-line arguments>]) and then get it's piped output via something like
on *:piperead:<pipe name>:{
piperead %blah...
}
and maybe have a feature for
/pipewrite <pipe name> <stdout data>
and then
on *:pipeclose:<pipe name>:{
%return_code = $pipereturncode
}
or something like that
THIS WOULD MAKE COMPLEX SCRIPTWRITING EXTREMELY, EXXXTREMELY POWERFUL, and wouldn't really be too hard.

p.s.,
I realize that one could do something similar to this via .dlls, or make their program use sockets to interact with mirc or whatever, but that's not what i'm interested in.....
