AmigaOS 4: Instant Messenger SabreMSN, Alpha 7
James "jahc" Carroll has published another alpha version of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network (screenshots: 1, 2).
In alpha 7 it is now possible to transfer files. Currently you can only send or receive one file and transfers cannot be aborted. The ASL-dialog for choosing a file to transfer is not asynchronous. That means the messenger stops working as long as the requester is opened. Downloads will be always saved to the RAM-disk.
The ports which are supposed to be used for transfers must be configured in the "Settings"-windows.
