Actually this is not such a big problem, because under Unix, everyone can load libraries written in C and only C++ programs can read C++ libraries. There are 3 free (as in speech) implementations of the v7 protocol that I know of: ickle (aka libicq2000), licq and GnomeICU.. The first 2 are in C++ and the 3rd in is C, so using our code is the only possible solution... And I believe that as soon as I have file transfer in, we will be the most complete impletementation and the only complete v8 implementation. Then, I have tried to make our code as clean as possible, but I have no interest in making it into a separate library, I just dont see what doing it would give us that we dont already have or do. I understand that ickle and licq already have their own implementations and are probably not interested in dumping their work. Such a library would mainly be useful for ppl who have multi-protocol apps (such as Gaim and Everybuddy). I know that at least gaim is still using the old protocol for icq. -- Olivier Crete Tester [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. -- Henry Spencer _______________________________________________ Licq-main mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/licq-main
