10 ICQ TCP v2 protocol, including new UIN registration, chat, and file
14 * written in C for portability - compiles on most Unices
15 * supports multiple simultaneous connections to ICQ servers - more
16 than one UIN can log in and receive events
17 * SOCKS5 firewall support for both UDP and TCP protocols
18 * event driven, non-blocking interface
19 * supports Russian language - automatically performs conversion from
20 Windows 1251 encoding to unix koi8 encoding
