Why that?- Just use a library of a well-established program. Manpower is critical so investing time in good glue code (= code that utilizes a library to implement a Jabber transport) is far better than wasting time on coding a legacy IM library itself. Keep in mind a Jabber transport is *not* trivial even if we don't have to care for the low-level legacy IM stuff - just take a look at jit.jabberstudio.org, it uses libicq2000 and still needs 111k source apart from libicq2000 to get full transport functionality. A typical MSN library is *less* than 100k. I'd suggest to take for example the MSN code from GAIM as GAIM has pretty active developers. Yahoo-t and AIM/ICQ-t are based on libraries that are utilized by GAIM, too. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gaim/gaim/src/protocols/msn/ If we have Open Source, why not use the benefits of it? :-) Regards _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
