Gaim

Gaim is a GTK2 based multi-protocol IM client, supporting, in addition to Zephyr, AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, Jabber, IRC, and Gadu-Gadu. It supports both personal zephyrs and chats (subscription entries from your /.zephyr.subs), in per-person windows, or with a tabbed interface.

The version currently installed on Athena is 0.76 with a couple of zephyr specific bugfixes that haven't yet made it into a released version of gaim. For more information, on gaim, you can go to http://gaim.sourceforge.net

To run it on Athena, type add im; gaim

For questions concerning the Athena install of gaim, or about gaim and zephyr can be sent to bug-im@mit.edu.
