Mr. Message for OS/2 is an instant messenger client which is capable of
communicating over AOL's Instant Messenger network using the OSCAR
protocol (used in the Win32 AIM clients, jBuddy, gAIM, Kopete, ICQ, and
a variety of other clients).

It has been updated with the following changes:

* Added the ability to send and receive typing notifications. Now you
have the option to notify your buddies when you are actively typing
in an IM window, and any typing notifications sent by your buddies
will be indicated with a pen or paper icon in your buddy list window.
The pen indicates that they are actively typing. The paper indicates
that they have some text typed, but are not currently typing.
* Added the ability to display user-defined status messages. Some
clients seem to use this field for their user profile.
* Changed the filter icons to make their meaning more clear when the
filters are turned on. Also added flyover help for them.
* Prevented the user from adding the same screen name to the buddy list
more than once.
* Fixed to accept buddy lists that are split into multiple parts by
the AOL server. If you were missing buddy list entries before, this
should not be the case anymore.
* Fixed the case where an AOL error message causes Mr. Message to stop
acknowledging messages from the AIM server for the rest of the session.
* Fixed the replacement of " & < and > at the end of a
profile or away message.
* Fixed the profile/away message selection window to select the entry
that was just added or modified.
* Fixed loading of buddy list icons multiple times.
* Fixed debug error messages resulting from a user logging off.

That should e-mail you your password if the e-mail address registered
with them is real. Otherwise, you'll have to get a new screen name.

I have no idea what format the password is stored in their CFG file. If
it's 16 characters or less, you can try XORing it with the following array:

0xf3, 0x26, 0x81, 0xc4,
0x39, 0x86, 0xdb, 0x92,
0x71, 0xa3, 0xb9, 0xe6,
0x53, 0x7a, 0x95, 0x7c

Otherwise, it's encoded in some other way that I wouldn't be able to guess.

Marty,

I got the source and compiled it... one question. In the main
executable you had what looks like your OS2 toolkit path as an include
directory, suppose to be there?

Yup. I use the toolkit includes for the multimedia stuff and the
