AOL Instant Messenger

The goal of this project was to create a client for AOL instant messenger. This is difficult because the protocol is not open and AOL does not encourage people to make clients for their service. We managed to make a client that uses the simplified TOC protocol. The real client uses the OSCAR protocol, which is more difficult to implement.
