If there were not so many ppl out there that are so wrapped up in needing to know the hostname and IP number, geographical location, and what color keyboard the server was started from :) then we could use simple things like '/link like-here' or '/users like-here' and so on and so on. Now, for those that are always so curious, a '/info like-here' command brings the user this type of info: * Info for host 'like-here' is Earth.CChem.Berkeley.EDU (128.32.144.102) * Running server version 2.3alpha * Based on irc 2.0 by Jarkko Oikarinen (jto@tolsun.oulu.fi) * This release of irc is brought to you by the following programmers: * Nick Name E-Mail Address * msa Markku Savela savela@tel4 * misha Mike Bolotski mikeb@salmon.ee.ubc.ca * casie Casie Ashley Dyerman casie@earth.CChem.Berkeley.EDU * wumpus Greg Lindahl gl8f@astsun.astro.virginia.edu I guess while I am at it, how about some reformatting of the other commands as well? /list *** Chn Users Names *** 9 6 Heavy Discussions on IRC II *** 42 6 Wanhat IRC-patut ...
