./vICQ

Nota Bene: this project is currently unsupported by me. There are several reasons:

the lack of time
The vast majority of my friends use Jabber. Which is more flexible then ICQ and has open protocol.
There is no fun for me to find new protocol changes every month as it was before :)
If you want to support this project, feel free to drop me a letter. We'll discuss it.
