Feb 7, 2000 This is no new version of micq. It's just a hack that removes the on screen logging of users logging on and off. It's based on 0.4.3 and the latest version of the original micq is said to be found at: ftp://micq.chatzone.org/pub/micq/ There is also a webpage http://phantom.iquest.net/micq/ Tampered in: util.c - added a Dont_print_UIN_Name function. icq_response.c - commented out a few M_print and called Dont_print... micq.h - prototyped Dont_print_UIN_Name The reason for creating a Dont_print_UIN_Name function was that the Print_UIN_Name also returned a index-pointer that was used later in the code. My point is: Never be too clever and combine two functions into one. kafka@plea.se Old README: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Micq Ver 0.2a~ I know this is formated badly, sorry, I'm not a writer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aug 16, 1998 Feb 21, 1999 I have an micq list ready to go... posts to micq@phantom.iquest.net subscriptions to micq-subscribe@phantom.iquest.net unsubscriptions to micq-unsubscribe@phantom.iquest.net help to micq-help@phantom.iquest.net http archive at http://phantom.iquest.net/micq/ This program and the author are in no way affiliated with Mirabilis. This program is designed as a text mode unix ICQ since the only ICQ client that will run on a unix box is the java version which is slow and resource intensive. Ok this is a work in progress but I figure this might help people now that there's some semblence of an UI. Micq is an ICQ client for text mode unix that is not in any way supported by Mirabilis. This was done for two reasons : I wanted to see if I could and Mirabilis has been slow ( at best ) in releasing a unix port. The code is designed to be portable and to day has been ported to most every flavor of Un*x, Amiga, OS/2, MiNT, Win32, Acron and probably others. Let me know if you need any help porting it or if you would like your platform included in the default distribution. ***********NOTE************************* Solaris and SunOS require a switch to be set in the makefile. Download ftp://micq.chatzone.org/pub/micq look for the newest directory. Files can be downloaded seperately or in a tgz archive. It doesn't make sense to download both as they're the same thing. Compiling A linux i386 binary is included on the ftp site. It should compile on any Unix no problem. Amiga, OS/2, and Win32 might take some massaging. :) Let me know how it handles. To make micq type 'gmake' in the source directory. If this doesn't work try jusr 'make' If it doesn't work email me at meadhros@yahoo.com Usage Ok to run it type micq It will ask for your uin and password. Two users are in the default contact list. The two users are two different uin's I use. You can add more by editing the ~/.micqrc file. Ok if you successfully login then you can type msg uin/message -or- msg nickname/messgae this will send message to the user uin. For multi-line messages leave the initial message blank. This will put you in multi-line mode ( msg> ) Now type the message and when you're done enter . on a line by itself to end the message. # on a line by itself cancels the message. To exit just type quit or q and you will be logged off. You can change your online status to NA or Away just like in the mirabilis client. Type help to receive a list of modes you can change to. To view info about all the people in your contact list type w. This gives not only people in your list's information but also your current status mode. Passwords If you don't want your password stored on disk edit the ~/.micqrc file and remove the password line and you will be prompted to type it everytime Micq starts. Putting a * in front of the uin of a member of your contact list will add them to your visible list. Putting a ~ in front of the uin of a member of your contact list will add them to your invisible list. Coding Anyone who wants to add anything to this program or suggest features or report bugs or bug fixes is welcome to do so. I'll try to incorporate the stuff as soon as possible. If you don't want to give ma anything just leech the code and do your own thing with it that's you choice. I won't stop you unless you say that you made it or own it or anything stupid like that. Please give me your improvments though so that development will go faster. Micq is completely free but if you'd like to show your appreciation you could send me a pizza. I heard about this online and it sounded like a good idea. Contact me for more info. Linux Master 11290140 -- Micq 11300897 -- Java :( This one is pretty much dead now. :) meadhros@yahoo.com If you ICQ say more than Hi! or else I might not respond I get hundreds of people messaging me and can easily get overwhelmed. I try to respond to all email but no promises.
