Mr. Message for OS/2 is an instant messenger client which is capable  of 
communicating over AOL's Instant Messenger network using the OSCAR 
protocol (used in the Win32 AIM clients, jBuddy, gAIM, Kopete, ICQ,  and 
a variety of other clients).

It has been updated with the following changes:

* Changed the way messages are sent so that they are wrapped in HTML.
   This should fix messaging with some braindead clients that won't
   display plain text.
* Added some fundamental building blocks of file transfer and group
   chat support.  Nothing functional yet, but it's a start.
* Added a command line option: "-showrawincoming".  This will allow
   me to see in the debug log file if a given received packet was
   misinterpretted to cause a problem.
* Fixed the way certain user information packets are interpretted,
   cleaning up the log and eliminating the slim possibility of a
   crash.
* Fixed the migration process completely.  Any server-initiated
   disconnect should now be handled correctly.
* Fixed a few double and bad frees when a connection has been cut and
   re-initiated automatically.
* Fixed a deadlock in the receiver thread causing Mr. Message to stop
   responding to messages from the server on your first sent message.
   This condition occurred only if you had told Mr. Message to add a
   buddy to your local buddy list, and this same buddy had already
   been added to your server-stored buddy list by another program. * Fixed
some settings being "forgotten" because of a change in
   capitalization or spacing of your screen name (initiated by the
   user or the server).
* Added a routine to patch the MrMessage.INI file to recover these
   "forgotten" settings and remove garbage entries created by bugs
   in previous releases.
* Fixed highlighting as "in use" the wrong entry when an entry is
   automatically started but the Session Manager had a different item
   cursored on startup.
* Fixed a crash when using the -nosound option and REXX script
   events occur.
* Fixed a crash when receiving an empty instant message.
* Fixed a crash when receiving rendevous messages (file transfer,
   group chat, advanced text messages, etc.)

To download, please visit the new official Mr. Message web page:
http://mamodeo.dyndns.org/MrMessage

If anyone has any new suggestions for the REXX interface or has  written 
some REXX scripts that they think can be generally useful, I'd love to
hear about them.


I will continue to post updates to USENET as well as updating the web
page.
