Textbased MSN Client

TMSNC is a text-based MSN client written in C that aims to provide support for sound, webcam, and file transfers while leaving out graphical features. The Text-based MSN Client Project seeks to create a client similar to MSN Messenger, but without the need for any graphics. This open-source project is released under the IR Public Domain License, which is a modification of the BSD license. It is compatible with most Unix-based operating systems, including Linux, BSD, and MacOS.

This software has undergone extensive testing and works well on various operating systems, such as OpenBSD/PowerPC 3.7, Gentoo Linux 2005.1, CRUX Linux 2.0, MacOS X 10.3.9 (Panther), Debian Linux 3.1, Slackware Linux 9.1, RedHat Linux 9, Fedora Core, SuSE 9.0 Professional, Solaris 8, and Mandrake 10.0. Requirements for TMSNC include OpenSSL (>=0.9.7d) and NCurses (>=5.4).

TMSNC has recently received an update that includes several new features and bug fixes. The contact list can now be sorted by groups, and buddies' personal messages can be displayed. In addition, users can change the mode for showing the contact list using the "f" key, and the PAGE_UP/PAGE_DOWN keys are now supported in the contact list. The software's focusing routines and cursor-follow-marker functions have been improved, and mouse support is now optional. Bugs such as the "most of contacts blocked" and "send msg crash after sb left a conversation" have been fixed. The yellow border now follows the focus properly in this release.

Overall, TMSNC is a stable and reliable text-based MSN client that provides essential functions while keeping things simple. It is a great choice for users looking for a lightweight and efficient messaging app that works on a wide variety of operating systems.
