Title: Dr. Message - Instant Messaging Tool
Post by: warpcafe on 2010.03.31, 19:09:14
Some more information for the interested people:

Marty's homepage says:

My current project is "Dr. Message for OS/2".  I have scrapped my problematic AIM/ICQ protocol implementation and have ported libpurple from Pidgin.  This library implements many instant messaging protocols, such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, and others.  I am creating an OS/2-native interface around this library so that we can have the latest protocols available with a real OS/2 look and feel.  Check the News page for project milestones to get an idea when a release might be imminent.  I will try to update my screenshots as I make progress also.

This sounds like something worth supporting!!
Note that the news page http://mamodeo.dyndns.org/mrmessage/news.html (http://mamodeo.dyndns.org/mrmessage/news.html) provides a neat list of milestone information as well. Okay, Marty, it seems like you convinced me to finally use IM stuff on my eCS machine. :)

Cheers all,
Thomas

Been testing it and MrMessage for a while.

He has gotten it working pretty well right now and has some big plans for a novel interface concept that you guys may like.
