- Who said that a boot has to be written in ircII ?
-
- A goot bot is preferable written in C or Perl. :-)
- I guess that you can write a bot in Emacs lisp also, but that may
- or may not be a overkill depending on how big your iron is.
-
- Perl is availible to the VMS community.
-
- Bot code written in perl is awailible on ftp.eff.org. Check it out,
- it's real decent.
-
- Beside, IMO... writing a boot with /on's are lame.
