xchat script

[Dan Clark <dalclark@xxxxxxx>]

I told everyone I would post the xchat script to shorten nicks. If the 
first 12 letters of nicks match then it will look like two people have 
the same name. I suggest enabling nick coloring in xchat this will try 
to make all nicks a different color.

you must have the Python plugin system for xchat.

to load the script type "/py LOAD /path/file.name
