This a very simple script that attempts to address a major problem on servers that allow extended ascii characters in nicknames. These nicknames cause problems for mIRC 7 users because mIRC processes all commands with it's unicode engine before sending it to the server. The end result of this is that some characters are being changed before being sent to the server, resulting in a false No such nickname error.

The simple solution to this is to use /raw -n with raw server syntax , when addressing a user with a special character in their nickname. Not very practical , especially if you are in PM and you have to use /raw everytime you say something.

So this script is basically just a bunch of replacement aliases that use /raw -n.
To use , just load into remotes and use all of your mIRC commands as you normally would.

Any problems or suggestions, please post them here.

Note That there is a small section at the bottom of this script that addresses the same issue with versions of mIRC prior to 7. In earlier versions mIRC had the same issue but only when you used the command from the editbox. This script will also correct those problems.
