lmao Welcome to Micro$haft's world.  Hey, it doesn't get any better
either, even with Win2k and XP (which is mutton dressed up as lamb).

Agreed, I'm a bit sick of Trillian myself.

Very slow at the moment, I've been busy with other projects at the
moment, mainly related to university, (end of semester exams, hrmm :-/
yet another assignment for the to-do pile)

It's still plodding along though, I might have to rethink how I code it,
but essentially, it's going to go ahead.  Once I've got this version
done, I'll then start ploughing through the books on C++ and the
Syllable API for another fresh new UI, but at least ebqt was written in
C++, so I've at least got code for the backend communication with the
server that is proven to be working, so I'm not completely in the dark.
