Ave!

Does a usable MSN/ICQ client exist for MOS? I've found none. Jabberwocky is almost nothing, the other ARexx/"through-amirc"-things are only half solutions. On mac I use Adium. This great instant messenger is totally free and open source (www.adiumx.com), and has a lot of features, and looks very good. Is it possible to port it to MOS/MUI? Ok, I know, the OSX GUI is much advanced, but I'd be happy with the half of the features and look too... Is anybody interested in?

perhaps a port of GAIM could be possible, if this GTK->MUI wrapper is realized ?

IIRC, the author of Epistula (a formerly OS4-only IM software) got a Pegasos1 to do a MorphOS port. Perhaps, you should mail him, and try to be a betatester.

Could you give me a contact please?

I heard here, on MZ, of another similar project that looked very advanced. Forgot its name though.

Jabberwocky is far from being nothing...
IMHO the only thing it *really* lacks is file transfer support, but for non-Jabber networks it's more a transport issue.
I can do without smileys/pics/fonts...

on Linux I use gaim, and also amsn is a nice piece of sw but it isn't multi-network (nor gtk based)

I'm using Jabberwocky 24/7, and I'm not pleased with it's efficiency. The three Jabber networks I've tried were very unreliable. In Jabberwocky (under MOS with antialiased fonts) the incoming and outgoing texts are formatted same! It's annoying!! There are no icons, no user pics, no user groups, no file transfers, no skins... Even the windows could not be snapshotted... It's far away from a good program, i'd call it a 0.001 alpha only.

biggest problem I find with jaberwocky is the fact the dev. looking to make it os4 only.

No, will never happen. It is and always will be for AOS 3.x, AOS 4.x and MorphOS. If I feel someone will break the port he will be out of the project and can do his own port under a different name.

@ GK_LKA

Jabberwocky is mainly a Jabber client and for this is has nearly every basic functions. You can do Chat, send and receive Messages, do Conferences and also transfer files within the Jabber protocol.

Jabber uses MUI as GUI and can be configured from any user like he want.

If you think there is something really importend missing for you feel free to join the developer team.

@DJBase

Then we need an MSN/ICQ client I think.

this is great to know, I read yesterday on a site I cant find it that he stated it was to hard to keep up the other ports and for that reason and a few others later version will onyl be for os4.0. If I find the link ill send it to you.

found out the problem its my brain hehe
What i read yesterday was on wookie chat I appologise for the confusion i created there.

exactly what I meant...
Anyway, file tranfer doesn't work even on Jabber network if behind a router.

Actually a better service handling, like rekognizing them in the list (and not treating them like other contacts) with context menu for change nick/search/register...
BTW, I wrote an Italian catalog ages ago taking the .cd from cvs, but some parts are still not localizable

and what's the problem with stricq? i tried it several times on my old amiga and also on my pegasos, but it never connected. imo, stricq seams to be really great icq client, but how to connect it? i guess i tried almost everything, but no success...

bye, MarK.

I did had some mail
conversations with someone, he was busy
with a MOS MSN client, i offered to do the
MUI-GUI part for it, he told me he would send
his sources but after asking a few
times i never got it.

Gr,
Felix.
