Rebol channel on IRC
[1/4] from: dada:gecko:verizon at: 10-Jul-2002 11:55
Hey all,
I opened a Rebol channel (#rebol) on IRC (dal.net).
Stop by if you get a chance :)

Great!
BTW, is there some REBOL IRC client?
Or at least protocol?
Cheers, Bolek

Hi Boleslav,
Boleslav> BTW, is there some REBOL IRC client?

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.

I actually made an IRC bot ages ago with all the channel operation modes and
a mode command which would allow you to do almost anything on IRC. It also
did DCC operations and had a partyline. Also it would respond to version
commands with a MIRC version so that IRC operators wouldnt boot it as a bot.
It doesn't work now with many of the changes to /core since that time. I
think if you stop at irc.help.org you will find everything your looking for
to making a bot or client that suits your needs.
