Open Source?

Hi, can I get the MSN Messenger source?
or any other free and open source alternatives?

I need to do some messenger features on my apps like: users talking with
each other... transfer files between users... the users knows when the other
goes online, etc...

Source in Delphi is my preference!

Thanks !!

MSN Messenger is not an open source application, it is a proprietary MSFT
closed source application. MSFT *may* have a related SDK (Software
Developer's Kit), but I wouldn't know how to find out.

Re: Open Source?

Greetings,

Check out aMSN and Pidgin, they're both open source and connect to Messenger.

It's not possible to talk with aMsn, and it wont be possible in future.
Seems that aMsn has to be completely re-written for this
feature and no one is going to do that.

Re: Open Source?

I'm not sure what you mean -- I just downloaded the latest and I'm talking to people fine...
