BetterMSN / Msg++ released!!!
A great addon, go get it! Fully open source, cross platform (i.e. MSN 5 + XP along with everything else). You can change the name of a contact. You can do mass blocking. You can view peoples profiles. You can be cooler than your friends. You can set ... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 12-31-2002 at 12:34 AM |
RE: Rip-off
Any amount of copyright is irrelevant, as it costs too much to persue it through a court. Even then, it isn't really possible to copyright the stuff Plus! does, you would need to get a patent on it, and it doesn't really justify a patent. Putting i... | ginge | Archive | 12-20-2002 at 07:30 PM |
RE: Script? did I hear script?
No its not different at all, VBScript in IIS (or ASP as the extension to the web pages is) uses WSH (Windows Scripting Host), which is exactly the same one Patchou would use. Because IIS uses WSH you can actually use any WSH language in .asp pages - ... | ginge | Archive | 12-17-2002 at 05:01 PM |
RE: Script? did I hear script?
Patchou actually said he isn't making scripting a priority for this release, so it might not have it. There is a really easy to use API for windows scripting host, pretty much as simple as "script.Execute()", I used it for my emacs-a-like editor t... | ginge | Archive | 12-08-2002 at 09:33 PM |

Biiiiiiiiiiig problem!!!!
Good idea on how to change the name, lots of things would need looking into (what if they already have the dialog open etc.) but it will almost certainly work. A possible idea would be to write "MSN API Plus!", giving a single unified API to MSN th... | ginge | Archive | 10-27-2002 at 02:56 PM |

No, not using that API. | ginge | Archive | 10-27-2002 at 01:38 PM |

Biiiiiiiiiiig problem!!!!
MessengerAPI, as found in msmsg.exe\3, still works. Messenger, as found in msmsg.exe, doesn't. I haven't actually got MSN 5, so I can't confirm it, but someone tested it for me, and the program was able to create the first object but not the seco... | ginge | Archive | 10-26-2002 at 05:53 PM |

Multi-Language - Question for Japanese, Chinese, ...
Don't use MBCS - you have absolutely no chance of getting it to work without a development machine actually running the Asian version of 98. WinXP is the main MS OS, and its sufficiently "good" for no one to have an excuse for sticking with 98/ME... | ginge | Archive | 10-26-2002 at 05:18 PM |
Biiiiiiiiiiig problem!!!!
Msg++ is no more - Better MSN is the GPL, Open Source, remote CVS sourceforge project ([url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/better-msn/[ /url]). Better MSN steals all its code off Msg++, and will support MSN 5.0, with all the new features in 0.9, and ... | ginge | Archive | 10-26-2002 at 02:45 PM |
Biiiiiiiiiiig problem!!!!
Update: It appears that Msg++ 0.1 works on MSN 5.0, but not 0.9. Version 0.1 is available at [url]http://www.nmitchell.co.uk/programs/msg++/[/u rl], and the source code is available too. This uses a different API to get in and do its work, which seems... | ginge | Archive | 10-26-2002 at 09:26 AM |
Biiiiiiiiiiig problem!!!!
I haven't managed to get a copy of MSN 5 yet, but surely the API is either there (and viewable as a COM interface) or not, and documentation is irrelvant? If there is genuinely no API then couldn't an API be created by the hook interface - i.e. tra... | ginge | Archive | 10-26-2002 at 09:03 AM |

Or you could use an XML file instead of a .ini, that way you get heirarchical storage, advanced "stuff" (XPath, XInclude, XSL, lots of other achronims starting with X, ...), W3C standards, and it isn't in the registry - which I personally hate. An... | ginge | Archive | 10-19-2002 at 01:06 PM |

You shouldn't have any problem getting it removed from download sites, just make the email fairly long and legal sounding, and most sites will take down any content no matter how bad the legal reasons. They don't want to spend any time in court any... | ginge | Archive | 10-18-2002 at 10:29 PM |

You do not need to register "Messenger Plus!" to have copyright on it, just by releasing the product you have that, you only need to register to have it as a trade mark. Either way, it is illegal for someone to knowingly copy your program name, alt... | ginge | Archive | 10-17-2002 at 11:59 PM |
Script? did I hear script?
COM works fine with Perl (PerlScript), but WSH is just COM + a scripting engine bundled in a nice package, so may be more convenient. 2) I will try :), it depends what you class as "security risk". | ginge | Archive | 10-14-2002 at 04:39 PM |
