Curphoo (YMSG) http://www.waduck.com/~curphoo/ Personally I don't think YCHT is going down anytime soon, but here it is anyway a curphoo that uses the YMSG protocol. Special thanks go to the GAIM people, where I got the Yahoo MD5 login code from. Nice app guys! I'm a big fan. Many thanks to the authors of SWIG. I'm also a big fan of this tool. (for more info on the applications above see http://freshmeat.net) gpan (author of cheetachat) for the advice and tips. Thanks G! IMParcival, couldn't have done this without you dude. Thanks heaps. waduck.com rules! Most of all a Big Thank You go to the Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris:1 people for testing/using curphoo for their comments constructive or otherwise and for believing in the author (heh.) and for putting up with all my (heh.)'s which is entirely daryn_lightblade's fault. INSTALLATION o Get Yourself a Python2.1 or a Python2.2 interpreter o unpack the source tarball o cd to the newly made directory o type make (or gmake on bsd) o type ./curphoo o Enjoy! USAGE In chat hit the TAB key for help, hit Enter for the user list. PRIVATE MESSAGES For those that find typing /tell something something something a tad tedious I've added # support.
