Instant-Messenger: StrICQ v2 Beta6
Douglas F. McLaughlin released beta 6 of the Instant-Messenger 'STRICQ'
(version 2). Compared to the previous version the following changes have
been made:
- Fixed the '*** NULL POINTER ***' text some people reported showing up
in the contact list. It was caused by sending or receiving a message
to/from a UIN in the 'Not in List' group.
- Now that the above bug is fixed, sending or receiving a message
to/from a UIN will cause that UIN to remain in the contact list
even after restarting STRICQ. However, there will be no status
changes for those UINs.
- When a UIN shows up in the 'Not in List' group, STRICQ will now
request that UIN's short info and display the Nick in the contact
list.
- Fixed a long-standing bug in the contact list display that would
cause a crash if the existing nick was changed after the UIN was
already inserted into the contact list.

Installation tips:
STRICQ V2 is incompatible with STRICQ and must for this
reason be installed in its own directory.
At the moment STRICQ V2 can only be launched from a shell prompt.
There's a lot of debug output in the shell window, which can be
send to Douglas F. McLaughlin in case of occurring bugs.
Run the program. It won't get online right away. Enter your nickname,
your UIN and your password. Click 'Save'. Close the program by using
the close window button on the contact list window. Your prefs are
now saved. Restart the program and if all went well, you should now
be online. However, you should consider the following points:
- You cannot add contacts manually yet. If you have never used ICQ2001b,
don't bother using STRICQ V2 at this time.
- If you have used ICQ2001b before, STRICQ V2 will import your contact list
from the server
- If you get an enforcer hit, please forward it to Douglas F. McLaughlin
on the message base. You should use <pre></pre> tags.
- You will need the latest versions of NList, NListtree and TextInput.
