the program is pretty straightforward and their documentation covers everythign you should need to know. for aim or icq just use that joint protocol, and forget about TOC.

Did acid really need someone to echo him on the mentioning of upgrading.. hmm... Yeah, this question could go in the software forum, but it didn't really start out like that, but turned into more of a software forum type question. but its fine where it is for now.
