Acid, your post refers only to protocols up to version 5. From my experiece - old protocols supported very baldy by AOL, so if someone really interested in ICQ protocols - have a look at version 7! I have some files about V7 protocol, but dont want to post it here. And I dont remember URL where I get it.
But I can send them by email upon request!

P.S. to moderator: it's offtopic isn't it? <img src="wink-5.gif" border="0">

YSM v7 is a simple ICQ client based on the v7 icq protocol version. Free of external libraries requirements, written in the C Language.

PPL thank you for all advices.

But I resolved my problems with a Perl Module. The IcqLib was a very hard thing to digest.
