The previous version (0.82) had a much nicer interface than the current version (0.85), but that is all IMHO. Also, when you are talking directly to other licq clients, licq will encrypt your traffic (something the Windows ICQ client cannot do). licq isn't the most stable program in the world, I've still managed to crash it a couple of times, but it is one of the most stable ICQ clients, and one of the most fully featured. -- _ _ _ ___ ____ ___ ______________________________________ / \/ \ | ||_ _|| _ \|___| | Jason Andresen -- jandrese@mitre.org / /\/\ \ | | | | | |/ /|_|_ | Views expressed may not reflect those /_/ \_\|_| |_| |_|\_\|___| | of the Mitre Corporation.
