Only as binary for linux/x86. No other linux version..

yes..

ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/MPEG/audio/mpeg2/software/technical_report/dist10.tar.gz

it's horribly slow, but it has source..

yes, and Linux/x86 isn't the entire world, and Debian isn't a project
for Linux/x86 exclusively.

That kind of attitude makes me truly sick..

cdrecord (including 1.6a9) is using illegal code, which makes it impossible
to compile on all versions of linux.

small example, found in lib/format.c


va_list rargs;

rargs = va_arg(args, va_list);


this is possible on linux/x86 because va_list is a void *

on linux/ppc however, va_list is a struct, and handled by va_ppc.h
and this makes compilation fail. 

format() will need to be rewritten without a recursive use of va_list.

Appearantly linux isn't aware of mmx, and doesn't try to do anything about it.

Uhh.. what do you think the client DOES send to the server when signing on?

nickname, username, hostname, servername (of the server they connect to)
and their so called Realname, which is a text they can pick on their own.

So I don't see why you need to change a protocol already providing all the
mentioned information.

Ever tried "/whois nick" ?

Tabs on friends are called /notify.
Messages to others... well.. /msg, or /notice if you like..

Are you saying ICQ lacks server<->server connections? If so, it's not even
progress reinventing the wheel like that.

Replacing a free, well established, fully functional, and multi-platform with
a non-free, single platform lacking basic functionality for handling networks
as they look today, sounds more insane than sane to me. Investing some time
making the irc clients more user friendly sounds much more like a sane idea
to me.

So, basically, it's about what irc (on a network with services) can do for you?
Seems like an incredible breakthrough getting something we've had for several
years on a lot more platforms.
