[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6590"] trillian works the exact same way as gaim.. they write their own from the ground up. It's a viable solution for a huge dev team, but when the powers that be decide to change the protocol things break quite easily. For example, in 5 years span icq went through 3 completely different communications standards. In any case, there are a handfull of opensource programs (like gaim) that would work great as a backbone, but keeping the code as similiar as possible to the original is essential unless you want to get caught with your pants around your ankles when things change.
