Super. Congrats. First thought: Why don't you put this up on sf.net? Sourceforge will give you lot of exposure and capabilities. Are you using Google's APIs? UNIX even today does not have a neat conferencing tool on the console. We have xchat but that is a boring GUI. Only available choice is irssi or icb. Can you elaborate if you are using nCurses? Also I believe using Google API is neat because these days everyone has a Gmail account. However this should also work with UNIX usernames. That is my idea. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Best of luck and may God bless you with success. -Girish _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
