Hi. Why don't Yahoo Inc gives us, instead of only a messenger client, one closed-source libyahoo, so we can do our own clients ? That way, yahoo won't have to open the protocol and we could build our own clients, and everyone would be happy ;) I think it wouldn't be hard to do the lib with the functions needed. I've already done an Yahoo.pm (based on a perl linked on libyahoo mailing list) with the functions yahoo_getbuddies (the get to msg.edit.yahoo.com), one yahoo_connect (to cs.yahoo.com:5050), one yahoo_message, yahoo_status, and a callback function that returns the messages, status, login/logout, notify received. We (libyahoo people) and Yahoo Inc could define the structures and an interface to use. (I'm up for a better kyim, and ari-yahoo text mode client and my sms-yahoo implementation) Please? -- Bruno Rodrigues Vodafone Telecel Portugal _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
