Synopsis:
load country
Description:
This script is used for converting between a country's (official) name
and its ISO country code. It can convert in either direction, and can
convert to a country name based on an email address. Everything is
done through a single alias, /country. The basic syntax is:
/country [<switch>] <nickname|country|isometric>
The default behavior is for the script to try to guess what type of
input it has been given. The default is a nickname. If it cannot find
anyone on irc with that nickname, it checks the length of the input.
If it is longer than 3 (three) characters, a country name is assumed.
If all else fails, it tries an isometric code. Several switches are
available to force the client to do a particular type of lookup
(instead of guessing).
Flag Purpose
-c assume input is definitely a country name
-f skips userhost lookup used in nickname searches
-i assume input is definitely an ISO code
-n ignored (historical feature)
For convenience, 2 additional aliases are provided; /lcountry is the
same as /country -c, and /lcode is the same as /country -i.

Other Notes:
This script was originally written by Daniel Cedras (TG). It has been
largely rewritten by Jeremy Nelson (hop), jnelson@acronet.net, to take
advantage of EPIC's features.
