Re: [NTLK] Chat Buddy, Newton IM and NewtJabber

Ok, thank you... THAT is why NewtChat doesn't work. Crying shame too, because it was a good program (programmers out there, if you make a IM program, make it where the IP and hand shake procedures can be adjusted, otherwise it will be a dead program in a year with all the changes to IM that happen)

NewtGlider... a lot of fun!!

And as for Newt IM.. yeh, where can I find that?

When I wrote my previous review I knew I was forgetting a IM package
that only worked on the AIM network. And I found it and something else
I forgot about.

The first one is called NewtChat and it only works in the AIM network
and is the one I was thinking of when I mentioned that AIM changed
something and it no longer worked. If you want to check it out the
webpage is:
http://www.sealiecomputing.com/newtchat/
I haven't had time to test this but as I said last I knew AIM changed
the network and NewtChat no longer works.

As a side note, he also makes a great game called NewtGlider and is well
worth the $5.

I also found NCQ which I had forgot about. It is a ICQ client, however
shortly after it was made, the ICQ network changed and it no longer
works either.

So two more programs that unfortunately no longer work. But thankfully
Newt IM still does. Also one thing I neglected to mention in my
original review, Newt IM is also open source.
