Hi Boleslav,

Boleslav> Or at least protocol?
Protocol might have been nice but it's simple enough with Rebol's TCP
handling. I've written an IRC bot in Rebol. Actually, probably the
most feature-rich IRC bot the world has ever seen given I've been
adding stuff to it for absolutely ages and it's so easy in Rebol. :)
And I actually do it, believe it or not, by opening a TCP/IP socket
and reading in line mode. No fancy buffering, nothing and it works
perfectly.
However someone else wrote a bot which was in 'better' Rebol than mine
(I'm still a crap programmer), particular in the way it handled the
low level stuff. It also did all the sort of channel police type
things where as mine is purely an Infobot. It's also a million times
more suitable for looking at the code than mine is :)
I can't recall who did it, perhaps they'll pipe up now.
Regards,
Mat.
