The Ultimate in Windows Jabber Clients
WinJab is a Jabber
designed to run in any Windows (32 bit) environment. Jabber is an
open source instant messaging architechture being built on top of XML.
Jabber clients have the capability to communicate with users of other instant
messaging systems (AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, etc..) as well as other communication
systems like IRC.
This client is being developed in Borland's Delphi
enviroment which uses an OO variant of Pascal.
When using & navigating the Sourceforge project pages, you'll see these icons
on every page:
- takes you to the sourceforge page for WinJab.
- takes you back to this home page.
- takes you to the listing of bug reports and allows you to submit new bugs.
- takes you to a page where you can read or sign up for our mailing list.

The client is being developed using the JabberCOM COM library
to interact with the Jabber server. The COM object/lib exposes several events and
objects to use to communicate with the server. The source can be found in the
CVS Tree.
Developers - Source Code
If you're interesting in helping with Winjab, checkout the
SourceCode Information page for getting
everything setup and checking out the source from CVS. Send
me email if you've got a Sourceforge
account and would like to contribute to the project.
If you for some reason can't figure out how to use CVS, PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME
asking for a zip'd copy of the sourcecode.. You can download nightly tar-balls of the
cvs tree directly from Sourceforge
here!.
Using SSL Connections
To use the SSL connection feature of Winjab, you must download the
Open SSL DLL files. This zip package contains 2 DLL's which you must place
into the same directory as you installed Winjab into. These DLL's are not
included by default to keep the initial download size of winjab down.
