erm.. I haven't specified the exact problem.. sorry.. I need to ADD user with nick longer then 9 chars.. anytime I do that.. it only recognise first 9..
it's a prob cause user is op on channel and I need him on list ...

A forum search about handle length would help.

You should edit your eggdrop.h file found in your /eggdrop1.6.13/src/ folder and set
#define HANDLEN 32 /* valid values 9->NICKMAX */
#define NICKMAX 32 /* valid values HANDLEN->32 */

save the edited file and recompile your eggdrop.
This should solve your problem hopefully.
