 +====== Various hard-coded size limits ======
  
 +mIRC has lots of internal size limits for various types of data; in fact, pretty much anything in mIRC has an upper limit. Sometimes it's helpful to be aware of such limitations; this page tries to summarize a number of them.
 +
 +This is a work in progress, please add more as you find them!
 +
 +All limits are in bytes unless stated otherwise.
