+ | ====== 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. | ||
