My roomie was using TerraIM on Vista, and so, I looked into it. Its a very small, simple AIM client that is built upon the wXWidgets framework, and has its full source included. How hard would it be for someone to hack this together for OS/2?

Some General Information about TerraIM:

TerraIM is an instant messaging client that connects to the AOL Instant Messenger network. Thus, one can use TerraIM with an existing AIM, ICQ, or AOL screen name. Just log in using your AIM screen name or ICQ number with TerraIM, and your regular buddy list will show up.

TerraIM has several useful features:

Portability - TerraIM easily fits on a floppy, and requires no install. It is perfect for environments where AIM cannot be installed, such as school networks.
Aliasing - set an alias for a buddy and that alias is displayed everywhere instead of the person's screen name.
Invisible login - login directly to invisible mode, so no one suspects that you are online
Logging - TerraIM implements real time logging. All instant messages can be recorded to files.
Remote Control - leave TerraIM running at home and remotely check messages, change the away message, and download files.
Tabbing - you have the option of having all your instant messages with one window, with tabs to switch between them.
Low RAM usage - While the latest version of AIM from AOL uses 60+ mb of RAM, TerraIM normally usess less than 5.
Skinnability - TerraIM is fully skinnable.
While TerraIM has file transfer and buddy icon support, it does not have DirectIM. If you have experience with C++ and are interested in adding features to TerraIM, contact the team.
