Eggdrop is an IRC bot, written in C.  If you don't know what IRC is, this is
probably not whatever you're looking for!  Eggdrop, being a bot, sits on a
channel and takes protective measures: to keep the channel from being taken
over (in the few ways that anything CAN), to recognize banished users or sites
and reject them, to recognize priveledged users and let them gain ops, etc.

One of the more unique features of eggdrop is its "party line", accessable via
DCC chat, which allows you to talk to other people lag-free.  Consider it a
multi-way DCC chat, or a miniature IRC (complete with channels).  You can link
up with other bots and expand the party line until it actually becomes
something very much like IRC, in fact.
Updated to version 1.6.15. Changes: - use tar.bz2 distfile - install documentation in proper locations - install more docs - fix PLIST for NOPIC and USE_INET6 - DESCR has 80 columns 1.6.15: ======= - Support for the IPv6 protocol. - Many bugfixes related to the transfer and filesystem modules. - Several more functions have been exported for use by module coders. - Updated UnderNet's max bans to 45, and EFnet's to 25. - The nick bind is now triggered even if the nick is not on any channels (ie if the bot's nick changes before it's on a channel). - Removed strict-servernames -- $server is now always the server's realname and $serveraddress is it's server list entry. - Merged use-console-r and debug-output into one new setting named raw-log. - Updated recommended Tcl version to 8.3.4. - User-punishing and tcl_maskhost nor use matching banmasks regardless of strict-host. - Updates to the 'autobotchk' script. 2003-05-24 18:43:05 +02:00			`Eggdrop is an IRC bot, written in C.
