I looked at http://www.ycoderscookbook.com/ and on a quick glance
couldn't find anything technical that'd prohibit you from using rev.
You need to fully understand all of the following topics though
(probably even more stuff):
client-server communication basics
port, ip and socket basics
rev's way of doing socket communication with messages
different encodings like hex, binary and ascii
the binarydecode, binaryencode and baseConvert functions of rev
However, the legality of making your own client without asking yahoo
for permission is a gray area at best.
I am always happy to help people with networking, but I tend to
emphasise on how incredibly much work needs to be done to get basic
stuff working. If you can deal with that, it's best to ask me on
chatrev about the stuff I mentioned above.

Hello,
I've tossed around this idea with a few friends,
but I wanted to see what other users thought.
Is it possible to create a custom yahoo chat client
with runrev?
Has anyone tried it yet?
I've seen MANY other yahoo chat clients out there,
even ones that
support other chat services like AIM and MSN.
I'm interested in using just a couple of their
features,
trying to see if just plain chat would work first,
then move to
file transfers ( like photo sharing ).
And add a few custom features, like tabbed chat
windows.
Any ideas or thoughts? Perhaps Runrev does not have
the
power to create such a client.
I'd love to hear any suggestions or ideas..
Or if anyone knows of a client already out there that
supports
those features that would be great to hear about as
well!
Thanks alot everyone,
Chris
