I.) The Info

a.) Who Am I?
    
    My name on IRC is Zmodem. I've been scripting for the
    bulk of about 4 years. I have released many addons in the past, and
    have enjoyed writing them. The best part about writing an addon
    that people like is getting feedback (It's awesome). If you want to
    send me feedback on whether you liked/dis-liked/hated this addon,
    please send all info to: justinterri@netzero.net ANY feedbac is
    greatly appreciated (except mail bombs ;)) Thanks!

b.) What Does This Addon Do?
    
    This addon, IP 2 NICK, tries to convert any ip address into a
    nickname of someone. If the person is not on the same server you
    are on, I am sad to say that this will NOT detect them. It does
    reply a multiple amount of nicknames, depending on who owns the
    IP. This addon is good for 2 reasons (for me anyway):

    1.) If you are nuked:
      
      If you are nuked, you can quickly look up the person's nickname
      by merely going to your menubar, then going to 'Zmodem's
      IP2NICK', then to IP conversion. In there, it will have YOUR IP
      in the 'IP' text box. Remove that one, and type/paste the IP of
      the person who nuked you. It should, if they are on your server,
      quickly resolve their nick and any other nicknames that they own
      that are currently connected.
      
    2.) Flooders:
      
      If someone decides that it might be fun to flood you or your
      channel, you can get the IP of one of the flooders, merely typing
      /DNS <nickname> and then go to IP2NICK and put that IP in the IP
      textbox. This will resolve all of the nicknames of the current
      flooders, making it much easier to determine the 'OWNER'. Usually
      the owner has a normal nick and his clones have random nicks
      (i.e. X8i9s2lx74n).


II.) How To Install

a.) Instructions

    Hopefully, by now, you have unzipped all of the files that were
    included in this ZIP archive into your mIRC folder YOU MUST make
    sure that you UNZIPPED this addon and this readme file into your 
    MIRC folder. You can unzip it to any folder within your mIRC
    folder, but it MUST at least be in the mIRC folder tree.
    
    Now, go into your mIRC program and type the following:
                  
                  /load -rs folder.where.addon.is.stored\ip2nick.mrc

    The addon should take over and finish everything for you.
    (NOTE: You can find all of the options under your MENUBAR in mIRC)

    I would like to thank these next few people for scripting help:

            again one day soon)
    CyberStorm (Greatest scripter I know. Thanks for all your help)

IV.) End Stuff

a.) Previous/Future Versions

    So far, I have not released any previous versions of this addon,
    this is the first one. I have not planned on releasing any future
    versions, I'll just have to wait and see what people think of this
    one. If you think this one is really great, or you liked it but
    have ideas I can implement into the next version, PLEASE send
    everything to me VIA e-mail at: justinterri@netzero.net THANK YOU!

b.) How You Can Contribute

    No, I don't want money. These are the only things that I ask:

    1.) Don't rip my addon PLEASE (It's not worth ripping, write your
        own).

    2.) Enjoy it as much as you can

    3.) SEND ME FEEDBACK: justinterri@netzero.net



V.) Bugs/Links

a.) Known Bugs:

    The only bug that I am aware of is the DALnet bug. On DALnet,
    searching for the right nick can take forever, as DALnet is
    the most popular IRC server. It can take up to 3 minutes to resolve
    only 1 nick. Sorry for this inconvenience, but it's DAL's problem.
