Nice work!

I will have a look at the code later. What are the window lengths for? 
Isn't it easier just to do a loop:
for each emoticonString
	if BString::FindFirst(textToScan, emoticonString) != NULL
		addEmot
loop

Sorry to say I've been very busy recently, so I've not managed to 
change the protocol code to use a bigger buffer yet. I may get round to 
it soon (although exams are now fast approaching, so I will be a bit 
busier for the next few months :s)
