#8 Compatibility with ZeBeDee Required

[Anonymous]

Ability to start Bird Chat with a "command" statement
in a ZeBeDee Script, for example:

command '"D:\Bird Chat\client.exe" localhost:%d'

See:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zebedee/
http://www.winton.org.uk/zebedee/manual.html

Problems with Bird Chat when started with a "command"
statement in a ZeBeDee script:

a) Bird Chat can not find its own files? Error
message: "Access to Bird.wav failed!" I am not sure
if it finds its own .ini file either. A solution might
be to parse the command line the program was invoked
with and then look in the same location for other
files. Another way might be to supply a path to the
.ini file on the command line as a parameter and have
all the other file paths defined in the .ini file.
Maybe a combination of both?

b) ZeBeDee feeds a port number for the program to use
after it sets up a secure tunnel via the "%d" parameter
on the command line. See example above. Bird Chat
does not recognize host:port on the command line.

My boss says I must use ZeBeDee when connecting from
home...they hired a professional crypto guy to examine the
source code before compiling it themselves, so that is the
only software they trust, and they have his invoice for
services rendered to prove that they did "due diligence" to
the best of their ability, should they get sued. I use the
version they give me.

For personal chat, built-in crypto would be nice to have.
To do tech support from home, I would still have to use
ZeBeDee, whether or not Bird Chat has built-in crypto.
