That couldn't be more wrong! The IRCd makes no differentiation between a server and a user. They are both clients. sptr means "sender pointer" cptr means "client pointer" and there is no aptr, it's acptr which means "affected client pointer." NOTHING says that any part...

I just installed the 'eggdrop' client. It will connect to a defined set of channels and sit on them. It will also give a defined set of users +o on the channels. So far its working for me. I too dont want to get involved in the complication of services for my application.

Basically, I am writing a module that uses the 'db' (Berkeley DB) so I need to add a '-ldb'. At first, I modified the Makefile at the top level directory, added '-ldb' to ...
