To all of those who have sent messages to me suugesting that i use ircII, i 
tried that this morning, and it wouldn't compile either :(  I don't know what 
the f#@k it is with this system, but it doesn't seem to like programs that
i get that way.  Also, when ircii failed to compile, it left 6 megs of files
i then couldn't use on the pitiful 3 megs of account we're given <ouch>, so 
that option is out.  Thanks anyway.
