| Posted By: Anonymous Coward Posted On: Dec 1, 2001 Views: 337 | For linux at least, no real point IMHO, Trillian fills a gap under windows that gAim solves under linux... there would be no real point in duplicating all the work done by the gAim if there are still things needed to be done on win32.... |

So to say there's no program wich supports protocol X is a bit strange. And Gaim has a LOT of nifty plugins and patches with wich you can expand the program. I'd say, go for OS X. They need it. We've got Gaim (And everybuddy, but last time I checked, it wasn't done yet) |

It probably will work under OSX, if not now it likely will soon. So I would advise a Java port. Then it can run on the smaller devices and on any OS you feel like marketing it to. |
