Well, howard40, this is kinda an interesting project to do, from what I saw of the actual code, yes it was a bit sloppy, but at least it did the job for now!! ^_^ The only questions I have for you are, why do you need to avoid or go around restrictions in AOL's IM? I use it all the time on my home and school computer, and I never have to really go around ANY restrictions. Secondly, and lastly, about how you are going to add the feature where you can leave messages for friends even when they are not online is, why not just use ICQ?? It does that, and since it is already implemented, why reinvent the wheel?? I don't know... just some things to ponder I suppose!! Have a great day...
