AIM Clients

This is just a scratch page for me to send the Retro AIM Server project on supported 3rd party AIM clients I've tested

Currently testing is done under Ubuntu 5.04 (i386) because 4.10 had weird SMP issues in Proxmox

This test isn't likely to be 100% coverage because I'm not going to test *every build* of every client. But just act as a guide

TESTED WORKING

Windows

Regular AIM. Pretty much all of these up to 6.1 (at time of writing) are tested and working. 6.1 should work on everything from Windows 9x/NT 4.0 through to Windows 11

AIM 1.5 also works on Windows 3.11 with Win32s. AIM 1.7 refuses to install (requires Win95) but may also work under 3.11 with some tweaking (untested)

Mac

iChat 5.0.3 on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) x86 works!

Older clients presumably work but are untested

iChat ??? on OS X 10.7 (Lion) was the final client revision is currently untested as I cannot get it to successfully boot under Proxmox

Linux

gAIM 1.1.4 (Ubuntu 5.04) works. Though users will show as offline to other client(s) for several minutes. Bug filed
