Well, if you don't want to force everyone to install a RunTime, I think you
should consider not using C# cause it needs a runtime too.

As Tony and Peter said, you should try exodus, its in delphi and its very
easy to personalize.

Hi all,

I am new to this Jabber world. I just been asked to develop and instant
messenger software akin to Yahoo Messenger. However this yet to be named IM
going to be used only within our organisation (not public IM).

Since I have only 3 months to deliver this, so I need to know what is the
easiest and quickest way to develop one. I am no C++ guru, so if possible I
want to avoid that. I am thinking of doing it either in Delphi or C#, Java
is out of the question since I do not want to force everyone to install JRE
to use the IM.

Brief Requirement:

- Platform : Windows 98 or above (for client, the server may use either
Windows or Linux)
- Language : Preferably Delphi or C# (definitely not Java)
- Timeframe : 3 months

I am browsing the jabber website and doing google search right now..,
however if someone can give me some pointers or directions that would be
nice.. :-)


Regards,
Rosdi.
