If you want to create an eggdrop with support for handles larger than 9
characters in length then
Open the eggdrop.h file the the src directory of eggdrop with a text editor
(Don't use notepad!)

To #define NICKMAX x
Where x is the maximum amount of characters allowed for handles, x
can be any
number from 9-32.
Then save the eggdrop.h file and exit the text editor
Make sure the text editor
doesn't add any extra file extension to eggdrop.h like .txt
