YSM(1)

NAME
(Y)OU (S)ICK (M)E
An Original Multi-Platform ICQ console client that requires no external libraries.

SYNOPSIS
ysm

DESCRIPTION
You Sick ME is a portable open source console ICQ client written in the C language, under the GPL license.
YSM is one of the new generation clients due to the sudden modifications the ICQ protocol suffered after Mirabilis joined the dark-side of the force (AOL). This is the reason why most ICQ clients ended up with malfunctions or unable to use the IM network at all.

YSM was (proudly) the first ICQ clone to download and upload server-side contact lists.

The idea behind ysm is to have a portable-quickcompiling console client which lacks of strict library dependencies. The environment around ysm is ment to be fun and comfortable.

NOTICE
For more information on ysm and its usage please refer to the documentation section in ysm's website.
