The software, gtmess, is a POSIX-compliant console client for Linux and Unix systems, designed to provide MSN Messenger services to users. It is a useful tool for those seeking to access the Messenger platform without using a graphical interface.
Here are some of gtmess's most important features:
- It supports MSNP9 protocol version
- It's portable to many Unix (POSIX) systems
- It has a console interface that uses curses
- It supports full Unicode (UTF-8) input and output
- It uses multiple threads with pthreads
- It comes with SSL support through OpenSSL
- It has a notification window that uses an external Tcl/Tk script
- It lets you spoof typing user
- It comes with sound effects
The software requires ncurses 5.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7d, and Tcl/Tk 8.4.6 (although the latter is only recommended).
In the latest version of gtmess, you'll find a brand new menu system, the ability to select contacts in the contact list, and a URL parser. Additionally, there are several minor enhancements and bugfixes that make using the software even better than before.
