AcornICQ
The ICQ Client for Acorn Computers
This is not a finished program
This is not a finished article! There is still more to do. Indeed ICQ itself is not a finished project since more functionality is still being built in. The following parts are still to do in this part (taken verbatim from the 0.10 beta installation notes).
In the current version
- Handle received authorization messages (need to figure out what message is send back).
- What I can think of in this version
In a future version ...
- Handle more message types
- Handle system messages
- Word wrap send messages messages
- SOCKS 5 Support
- Chat support
- Multiple UIN support
- Everything AcornICQ misses ...
This guide reflects version 0.10, so if there are any additions in the future, hopefully this guide will be added to or altered to take that into account. :)
Please ... when making additions to this manual, send them to me at
acornICQ@hotmail.com. So that everyone can make use of them.
Thanks, Angelo
