mICQ is a very portable text-mode ICQ
clone - it is known to compile under Linux, BSD, AIX, HPUX, Windows, AmigaOS
and with restrictions BeOS. Originally written by Matthew D. Smith, a great
part of mICQ has been rewritten by me, in particular the support for the new
version 8 of the
ICQ
protocol that became necessary, the internationalization, the file
transfer and some restructuring of the code are done by me.
