Don't worry Peter, I'm aware that Exodus is not the same as WinJab. I've been through the source a few months back, I might not agree with all design decision, but it is a good client. On Windows... Though it's less dependand on win32-only things then the old Winjab (If I'm not mistaken it's library was a COM object). It still uses a mix of VCL and tntUnicode controls, wich doesn't port well to Kylix/Linux I'd say! So at best you can use parts of the library, rewriting the GUI will be a very considerable effort. At best, the library is a good basis for a linux/kylix jabber library, but that's far from a "strong foundation for a modern Linux client". I suppose WINE would be an option.. but since it's Delphi you can't *compile* it with WINE either. But I would not call a client running under/with WINE a "strong foundation for a modern Linux Client" either. I still think it's strange to name only non-linux clients when there are (superiour IMHO) linux clients available. -- Tijl Houtbeckers Java/J2ME/GPRS Software Engineer @ Splendo The Netherlands _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
