Daily, someone drops in on the [Tcl'ers chat] to ask a question about [Eggdrop]. The person typically ''thinks'' it's a question about [Tcl], because that's what he's been told. It's really about Eggdrop, though; as a consequence, the usual Chat crowd, which generally is helpful to a fault, goes silent, in recognition of its own ignorance. No one's upset, contemptuous, or dismissive; we just don't know what better to do. The one thing that is better to do is to read the [Wiki] page on [Eggdrop], and note especially that, as is written there, "try #eggtcl on efnet and/or #tcl on quakenet." Is ''this'' Tcl the same as Eggdrop's Tcl? Yes; '''however''', Eggdrop Tcl builds in special [command]s not known outside Eggdrop. Good Tcl programmers, therefore, can help with questions about syntax in Eggdrop Tcl, but often not about semantics. http://irc.shadowfire.org/ #L-W ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Application] |% !!!!!!
