RE: [Unreal-users] Simple question - color - motd

[-=JinXy=- <Ji...@sk...>]

Hey Mike.

I have found on most mIRC scripts, the default font is not a fixed width
font, therefore a lot of the placing is messed up on output of the motd =
etc.

I got round this by trying to use characters that are the same size of =
the
biggest font and not having characters after text.

e.g

************************************************************

           on a temporary or permanent basis                  =20

Along these same lines, I'd like to know how you guys are building your=20
banners within your ircd.motd's.

When I try to create one using vim, and then load the motd into unreal=20
(/rehash /motd) all of the characters I use to create the banner get all =

messed up when viewed within unreal.  How are you keeping all of the=20
characters that make up your motd in place?

I'm using standard characters such as | / \ _etc. to build the one I =
have.
