Description

As AdiIRC doesn't support /parseline -uN (TODO: Parseline), it's apparent there's no way to receive raw data from the server without AdiIRC messing it up encoding it.

For now, the workaround I'm using involves using sockets as an intermediate, as the only way I could receive raw data from the server was to /sockread to an &binvar
Additionally, using the &bvar(&binvar).text property will encode it too (bug?)

Am I missing something? I have it working, but it's an incredibly painful workaround.
