Welcome to AOL Instant Messenger! To check for new versions please see the web pages at http://www.aol.com/aim/ We are try to make the Java Client easy to expand and enhance. If you are interesting in creating your own proxies or modules for Instant Messenger or downloading third party modules see http://www.aim.aol.com/javadev/ Please see the BUGS file about reporting bugs, and known bugs. Try and provide as much as information as possible when reporting bugs. If you can not reproduce the problem, please tell us as much as you can about the events leading up to it. What were you doing, how many other programs were running on the machine, had the client been running for a long time, etc. Anything you can tell us will help. We understand that sometimes you will feel the need for immediate assistance, but we have many users, and simply cannot respond to everyone's requests immediately. We will respond as quickly as possible. To run the software just use the aim script included with the distribution. If for some reason that does not work you can try jre -cp AIM.jar main.Oscar
