Re: AOL

Well, as far as I am aware, IRC and OSCAR are completely different.  IRC is
designed for a completely different task than OSCAR.  IRC has been around
for many more years than OSCAR.  IRC was created by different people than
OSCAR.  Just because programs like Trillian can use multiple protocols at
one time does not mean the protocols are interchangable.  X-Chat is an IRC
client, not an OSCAR client, so I don't think you can use X-Chat to
communicate with OSCAR servers or clients.  Even if it was possible, you'd
have to type commands manually instead of using an ICQ/AIM-like interface.

I don't think that they are. They are very similar and have known other
programs to connect
to AIM. Yes, your correct with that statement.
