If you dont have wine set up, "man wine" when the term. is open. It is REALLY REALLY Buggy ;Check for Life if (%life == $null) { goto getlife }

I think the Windows version of X Chat blows goats too, so no-one can accuse me of being pro-Micro$oft. Lets just accept that some things are only made for a specific environment.

And.. i don't know perl and python :tongue: mIRC 0wnz!
