I tried to follow your hint, and found the following configuration options in
the rc file:
encoding={koi|win|translit}
separator_length={70|160}
I tried it with win/70/unicode but got the same results without sep
If vicq is really a single Perl script, then E-mail it to me and I'll
look for hints there.
it is a 61K download from http://gonzo.kiev.ua/projects/vicq/vicq-0.4.2.tar.gz
but since you asked for it I will send the script to you privately.

Re: SMS Hebrew encoding
My ideas: 1. Use a modern ICQ client (I use Kopete, but never tried to send SMS messages via ICQ). vicq is unsupported since 2002 or so. Or use the sendsms script. 2.
