I was just wondering how I could open AOL Instant Messager (Or Yahoo! Pager) to see their program code. I am tring to make a freeware client to client chat program with no luck so far. Any thing on this subject would be very helpful!
Thank You!

you can open it with any debugger and see the assembly code.
If you are wanting to see the C/C++ code, it is not possible (unless you have a debug version of there software and the pdb). The debugger doesn't even have any way of determining what language the program was written in.
There are some programs which will look at the assembly code and try to produce c/c++ code for it, but these programs are not very good and the code they generate is very hard to read.
anyway...
