    The trick with this program isn't the client itself, but that AOL has servers to handle this. They keep on track of who is or isn't on. Without a central server, one of the clients would have to do this, displaying its own IP if its dynamicaly assigned. You'd then have to e-mail the address most likely to those who want it. You *could* sneak by by using bots in an IRC channel, where each client goes to a specific room and sees who is on there, and do the address swapping there. But if you can get a Winsock control, do. WS.listen
    WS_onconnectionrequest(requestID as (whatever it is))
    WS.close
    WS.accept(requestID)
    Hope this helps. If you just look at the properties you shouldn't even need the help, just look for whatever is free for the d/l.

    Didn't I already told you that you can't intercept the IMs of AIM, because the text sends directly to the server, not to a person's IP, so if you want to flood someone by sending him an infinity of IMs I suggest you think by yourself how to do that, or make your own "IM" program using, as was said before, the Winsock control
