The AIM client is NOT published, however it has been reverse engineered. Looking at the source for such a client would lead to a description of the protocol. Look at "TiK" which is written in the TCL programming language - it is a relatively simple language to learn. There is also Jabber, which is not as popular but which does have a published protocol. ./patrick
