The main problem for me was that I developed a commertial project basing on libpurple so just writing this code once again is not exactly a 'clean room' development. But with Miranda it just simply another case, I didn't thought of that. Thank you for an idea. I'll look into it.
BTW - since I communicate with the backed through an stdio in an TLV form - it would be possible in fact to write different back-ends and use, for instance, libpurple's MSN together with Miranda's ICQ. -- Sincerely yours Alexey Nezhdanov _______________________________________________ JDev mailing list Forum: http://www.jabberforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20 Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
