Sounds like another Trillian (which runs under Winblowz). I don't do
chat much at all, and my C/C++ skills (what there was of them) is rather
rusty so I can't help here, unfortunately.

However, I do have a question: I heard that MSN and also AOL are cutting
off service to appliations that are not their own, so 3rd party apps
won't be able to use the service. Something that detects what app is
being used I presume? Seems I read about this every so often and they
keep changing things so that folks have to use THEIR apps, not something
else. Do you folks have a plan intact to keep up with the changes made
and hopefully can keep all the services workable?

I do have GAIM but I haven't tried it yet. But from what I hear, it
might not work anymore? I'm kinda confused on all the IM battles.
