What is Eggdrop?
Eggdrop is a robot or bot program that works in conjunction with the chat manager. Thanks to the presence of the eggdrop bot, it is possible to perform such functions as maintaining a list of users, set time frames for removing inactive users from the listing, and also maintain a list of users who have been banned for some reason. This program is written in C programming language, and is considered to be an open source program. One of the main functions of the eggdrop is to protect the integrity of the chat activity. In fact, it is an Internet Relay chat program that was developed to function within a UNIX or Linux environment.

For example, it is the eggdrop, acting as an IRC bot, that prevents persons from logging into the chat if they do not have recognized login credentials. There is a little more to the eggdrop than monitoring the l

If you enter this file without basic Eggdrop knowledge, you will NOT leave with a working bot! Before asking ANY questions, READ THE README FILE OR YOU WILL BE BURNED TO A HORRIBLE DEATH! IF YOU DO NOT READ THAT FILE I WILL PERSONALLY WALK TO YOUR TERMINAL AND BEAT IT WITH A SMELLY SNEAKER! By the way, read the README file. 2. Quick startup Eggdrop uses the GNU autoconfigure scripts to make things easier. • Type ‘./configure’ from the Eggdrop directory. The configure script will determine how your system is set up and figure out how to correctly compile Eggdrop. It will also try to find Tcl, which is required to compile. • Type either ‘make config’ or ‘make iconfig’ to determine which modules will be compiled. ‘make config’ compiles the default modules (everything but woobie.mod). If you want to choose which modules to compile, use ‘make icon
