Hi,
i've installed Unreal for windows to try it...
i've noticed that the example.conf is the same of the linux version.

In example.conf for Wjndows version is reported as follow:
loadmodule "src/modules/commands.so";
loadmodule "src/modules/cloak.so";
it's wrong... it would be
loadmodule "modules/commands.dll";
loadmodule "modules/cloak.dll";
or i'm wrong?

Well, the idea is that anyone who decides to run an IRCd really should have a brain and know stuff about the particular environment they are running in. So if someone isn't cabable of changing stuff in example.conf and removing what isn't necessary (like tld blocks *cough*).

So... yeah... :)

I believe this has been dicussed before in the UnrealIRCd support channel. The reason it has stayed that way is because even though UnrealIRCd can run on windows, we encourage people to run it on *nix.

Also, that is also why you should read the docs. The example conf is there as a lazy persons guide to making a conf quickly. It also says to read the docs in the example.conf.

Shouldn't that be "isn't"? :P
