Anyone know of any replacement Windows Messenger clients with source code? (Or any docs on the current protocols)

I have a cunning plan to allow me to remote control my computers via instant messages :P

You use MSN search? Ew :P

But yes, I guess one of those would be up to date. I did try a quick search myself but several of the clients were old and probably obsolete.

These docs look like they could be what I'm after. They are old, but the forums are fairly active, so I guess they're still valid.

I use a variety of search engines (directly from the shiny new integrated NetSurf searchbar and everything :-D)
Nowadays I find Google to be a bit pile of crap for common terms due to all the spamming :-(. I probably still use it the most, but MSN is actually pretty good generally speaking. Admittedly I only posted a MSN search link here to get such a response... :P

I've just realised that Google Talk is a better choice for this, since (a) they're not microsoft, (b) they've released their specs, and (c) there are probably some libraries out there which can easily be ported to RISC OS.

Google Talk is implemented over Jabber/XMPP, so if you wrote/ported a standard Jabber client it would work with both that and any other Jabber service. You could run your own server which could then certainly respond to remote control commands... smile

And also then we'd have a Jabber client on RISC OS, which I probably wouldn't actually ever use myself, but would quite like to exist nonetheless. smile

Yes.

I got as far as loudmouth, which looks Quite Good, but then found it needs glib, which IIRC hasn't been ported to RISC OS yet. And the glib sources are a ~3MB archive unhappy

I may have a go with it on Windows first, to see if I can get it to do what I want.

The one my version of NetSurf had. I've re-implemented various sections of NetSurf to use proper UTF-8 input in the GUI. These may see the light of day after the 1.0 release (the UTF-8 status bar component is already used, the rest requires the finishing of the UTF-8 editor code.)

There is MirandaIM, for Windows but open source which would be cool on RISC OS. . .

Yay! I suspected it would be around somewhere, but google wasn't being very useful unhappy

Thanks, JMB.
