Why not pick up Gabber2 or Gabber development? I think it's still a very populair client. If you're looking for a well architected client + library for linux I'd hardly say Exodus. My personal opinion on Kylix aside ;) old Delphi projects are hardly portable to Kylix. Only if you'd start a new project now you could keep it pretty portable. That being said, it's not like there is a shortage of good opensource clients for linux! Psi is at 0.8.7(!) right now, and I trust Justin that there *will* be a Psi 0.8.8 (with GPG encryption as promised :P yay!). http://psi.affinix.com -- Tijl Houtbeckers Java/J2ME/GPRS Software Engineer @ Splendo The Netherlands _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
