hello all,
One of my users has a custom IRC client that he coded in Visual C++ and he can't get it to read the ~ and & properly in people's nicks. Thus he can't see when an ~ or & person chances their nick or oqery them by dobpule clicking on the nick in the nick list. If someone could point me in the proper direction we both would be very greatful.

He needs to have the client read the PREFIX= from the 005 reply when connecting. That will say what prefixes the IRCd uses. He then need to make the client automatically remove those prefixes when sending messages.
