looks real great chad, grabbed myself a
copy and i'm impressed. excelent
comments and code structure. ::claps::
keep up the good stuff.

4/27/2000 6:01:24 PM:Cool33
Very nice code. As a matter of fact, I
had just begun a fairly similar code,
but now I know how to actually connect
to AIM server. This is great, it makes
my program so much better. Thanks,
awesome code, nice job.
|
4/27/2000 6:02:37 PM:Cool33
I have a question also. Where is it at
irc.themes.org that you read about AIM
TOC server?

chad?? is this Dos

Folks, if you want good clean written
code...then Chad is the man to download
it from. I encourage you to study this
code and learn from it. Don't just rip
it and call it your own. There is no
honour in it and you will gain no
respect that way. Great job Chad. You
know if I ever need hire a programmer,
you would be the first person I would
approach. :)

very nice! keep it up..

I like how it turned out. Hard effort
always pays off.

4/28/2000 8:04:41 AM:Michael Barnathan
YES! I was trying to do this for a very
long time! Thank you!

4/28/2000 8:07:15 AM:Michael Barnathan
Give me the answer to Cool33's question
about irc.themes.org also, please. I
want to find out a little more about it
also.
|
4/28/2000 8:11:47 AM:mtutty
This is nice code. It would greatly
help my understanding of the protocols
and string building if you would use
constants for the special #s and
characters that get embedded, also for
port #s, etc.
|
4/28/2000 10:39:32 AM:Chad J. Cox
Guys, at http://irc.themes.org in the
left column with all of the menus,
under IRC Miscellaneous you will see
"Tik", which is the AOL Tcl/Tk client.
That download also includes a file
named "Protocol" (no extension) which
lists version 1.0 of the Toc
protocol.
oh and lim, this is who
you think it is.
|
4/28/2000 12:27:54 PM:lazy
this project turned out very good... i
liked it myself... keep up the good
work :]
|
4/28/2000 2:52:51 PM:Michael Wieck
Very nice, Chad. I know that you have
been working on this example for quite
some time now, so it's nice to see that
all your time and effort has paid off.
Keep up the good work, and good luck
with winning the Coding Contest.
|
4/28/2000 3:10:29 PM:Jesse Alter
This will be interesting to browse
through. I'm mildly concerned about how
AOL's constantly changing their
protocol around so people on MSN and
such can't access it. How will that
affect this program?
Great job with
the program though, I wish you much
success in the future. =)
|
4/28/2000 3:28:04 PM:Chad J. Cox
Honestly I can't say how this example
would be affected by AOL changing their
protocol. I used the same documentation
that was initially released by AOL
before their problems with Microsoft
began. This is also the same protocol
used by several of the Linux and BeOS
clones. It makes me wonder if Microsoft
wasn't trying to take advantage of the
Oscar protocol instead. Your question
is a good one. I'll have to look into
it and see what I can find out.

If ever there was a reason to vote this
is it. Even knowing that my vote for
Chad is going to move my project
further down the code of the month
list, I'm still giving him an excellent.
|
4/28/2000 5:22:54 PM:rokinroj
The code is clean, well commented,
properly named, properly indented.
This guy should be the poster boy for
VB! Great job Chad!

Now, if we could ONLY figure out how
AOL MAIL works, then I could stop
telling my clients who use AOL that
they're assed-out because AOL decided
to be the only company in the WORLD to
break from POP/SMTP standard...
|
4/28/2000 11:58:46 PM:Chris
Very Very Impressive. Thanks for
sharing this code with the rest of us.
This is definately code that sets the
standard. Way to go!

Looks like you didn't work hard enough
Harlan. ::chuckles::

4/29/2000 12:20:08 AM:plastik
Truely the best thing I've seen come
out of you chad! Great job and keep up
with the great visual basic examples
and projects you try!
Harlan, it
seems to me that Chad has come out with
it first, maybe if you came out with it
first you could have a say in it. This
will help out a lot of people, try not
to be so selfish.
|
4/29/2000 3:17:15 AM:Cyfrin
Chad, Is that the best you can do?
::laughing:: Just kidding. I think you
did a great job. Keep up the great work
and dedication.
|
4/30/2000 3:22:23 AM:xvaporx
Chad,
You've done it again! Your the
man! Referring to the comment about you
being the Visual Basic Poster Boy, It
should be the Visual Basic Poster Man!
Hehe :o)
Oh And Harlan,
I wonder
why Chad isn't answering your mail?
Hmmm...let's think about that. Who
cares if he's ruining for selfish
people like you. People like you would
price **** like this way to high anyway.

Its a great code but it would be
helpful if you also made a version in
vb5,

5/1/2000 2:14:56 AM:Greg
First, this example kicks.
I hope a
lot of people read this, people check
out www.andymaul.com.
He recompiled
Chad's program and didnt give ANY
credit to Chad.
Email him and let him
know what you think about him ripping
Dos's code and not giving any credit.

nice work. ive always like your coding
style.
|
5/2/2000 4:04:40 PM:jhiner
Hey sweet code. Just one quesiton: How
did you figure out how to talk to the
aim toc server? Did you have some kind
of port monitor or what? I'd really
like to know. -Thanks.
|
5/2/2000 4:36:02 PM:Kevin
jhiner -- He probably used a packet
capture program like SpyNet. This
captures all the data going through
your network card or modem. This is how
i figure out how to communicate with
servers ;)

happy that you are helping the not so
good at vb people, j/k... i suck at
vb(kinda) but everyone is not good at
vb, not even bill gates ;p... well dos

Whoa! it's the one and only DoS! Man, I
didn't even download this code because
I already know it was going to be off
the hook. Just like everything else you
code, and by the looks of the
comments.. it's probaly the most
respected code on psl. Just wanted to
say that you got a awesome future in
programming and that I have learned
alot form your help files.
Keep up the good work!

5/12/2000 9:56:24 PM:AzId
Yo, it's Dos, haven't seen one bad
thing from you yet, and that streak
coninues. You've been my programming
hero(so to speak) on everything from
progs to various code functions I've
seen you write. Don't stop now, you can
only get hotter.
|
5/13/2000 9:58:32 PM:Jason Simmons
Dude, this code is excellent! You
should make examples like this for
other messengers and stuff. I've been
collecting the protocols and stuff but
I can't really understand them. If you
want them email me at
jasongsimmons@hotmail.com.

VERY useful to me on this client I'm

Hey, Chad? WE need some help. The
buddylist won't save. i have tried
EVERYTHING besides paying someone to do
it. Nothing seems to work. Maybe that
swelling VB brain of yours can think
something up.

8/27/2000 3:10:00 AM:agent153
I haven't downloaded the code yet, but
if it works like you say it does, I'd
like to write a plugin for Hazardous
Materials (http://hazmat.agent153.net)
out of it. I'll include it with version
1.0 and you'll get credit for the code.
(Writing name down...) Contact me for
more info: agent@agent153.net (Subject
line "AIM for HazMat")
|
8/27/2000 3:19:26 AM:Jason Campbell
OK, the code does not work with vb5,
but it says it's compatible with vb5.
Sorry, can't make a plugin, cause I
don't have vb6. (I think i'll be
getting it soo though).

9/23/2000 8:04:23 PM:The Hobo
This is awesome coding, but I can't
seem to get the buddylist to load :-/
can anyone help me out?
|
9/30/2000 3:16:49 PM:ArkonDude
The buddy list will not show up for me
as well... could this have something to
do with being on a proxy server?

10/8/2000 12:41:49 PM:The Hobo
Um...someone sent me an email helping
me with the buddy list thing, and I...I
kinda deleted it. Could they please
send it again? thanks!
|
10/13/2000 4:11:34 PM:The Hobo
If anybody has a problem with the

Buddy List Fix.
In LoadBuddies and

change every occurrence

chr(1) to "%"

10/16/2000 12:00:03 PM:twyvin
Not having any luck here
the 96 was
typed in as a percent symbol,
but any
character that is not in a buddy name
should work.
by the way this is
excellent code.

3/1/2001 6:36:04 PM:Gryphon
Nice coding and all, but I was a bit
misled by this being files as VB5
compatible... Perhaps its just my
system, or that I'm not very good at
kludging it up so it'll work on that
version. Anyhow, if anyone has a more
Vb5 friendly version, I'd really
appreciate it if they got in touch with
me. gryphon@megatokyo.org Thanks
alot. =]

I have a fully working version with
buddy list loads and the whole deal. I
have opened a site regarding my work on
the project at
http://www.notthesame.net/projectaim
where I will list what I currently have
and need. I have opened this as a sort
of sharing medium between developers
for this project. I have also included
on this site an example of how to load
and save the buddy list.

10/10/2001 8:19:38 PM:Intimidated
I have now submitted an updated
(working) version of this code.
