Eggie.tcl is an ADDON eggdrop support script for XiRCON 1.0B4.

It has the following features:
  - Supports all eggdrop1.0p bot commands from chat popups.
  - Start/modify bot networks from a status popup menu.
  - Should unabtusively cohabitate with large scripts like syntax.
  - Support for some added eggdrop scripts, too.  Like flagnote.
  - Supports both Warp and CTCP starting of DCC chats to bots.
  - Saves bot network info to an ini file that can be shared
     with others.
  - Displays bot version and password in the titlebar of the DCC
     chat window.
  - Dynamicly rehashes its own popups quite elegantly.
  - Makes extensive use of the advanced Tcl commands that Falcon.dll
     adds to XiRC.
  - Seperate chat menu file, so you can develop your own menus
    and 'on chat_text' routines to your tastes.

Known issues:
  - No routine for doing auto-connect, yet.
  - Reloading dummy.tcl disables the DDE server.  Also, when multiple
     status windows are open, the DDE server rehashes the wrong script.  
     oOps!  I'm working on a solution.


Q:  SO WHAT!!!  How do I make it work ?!
A:  Place all *.tcl files, egg.mnu, botnets.ini, and falcon.dll into 
    your script directory.  /load dummy.tcl first then /load eggie.tcl.  
    Or you could add them to your startup scripts.  Just make sure 
    dummy.tcl loads first.

Q:  Where's my script directory?
A:  I have mine as a subdirectory under G:\XiRCON called G:\XiRCON\Falcon
    and eggie.tcl is there.  Place yours wherever you want.  Just remember
    to set the "default script directory" from the script tab of XiRC's 
    preferences dialog.

Q:  What is this dummy.tcl do?
A:  Good question...  Not much but be a reciever for the DDE server that's in 
    falcon.dll .  You see, only the first script that loads falcon.dll gets 
    the DDE server.  And eggie.tcl needs a DDE server to do its wonderful
    dynamic rehashing.


This script contains a pre-release of Falcon.dll v1.5 with the 
DDE server enabled.  I have to work-out some programming issues
and finish off a couple more commands before its ready for 
prime-time.  Writing this script, exactly the way I envision it, 
is my way of pushing the functions in Falcon.dll .  I'm at a bit
of a stand-still with the code.
