HexChat Tcl Interface
(This file is currently not converted properly to Markdown format.)
Note to Eggdrop Scripters: The Tcl Plugin for XChat will not run eggdrop scripts. Contrary to popular belief, Tcl was not invented by or for eggdrop. Eggdrop, like many other successful projects is just another happy user of Tcl. Tcl was around long before Eggdrop and is broadly considered the industry standard language for automation.
