RE: [bme-develop] New network code working

Good Morning :D,

Nice! You also could have changed the code to using a 
vector<BString>...although I know the iterator stuff isn't too nice to work 
with...therefore I mostly use the BList object...anyway, I'm curious to see 
how you implemented it...

Ah ok...I sometimes find the deleting of objects a little awkward...*sigh* 
wish we had a garbage collector ;)

Nope, not at all :D...I have begun by testing my code by building it into 
the contact list...(just testing, the code is kinda dirty now :D)...no 
success thus far, I have some problems with it, but will have a look at it 
this evening...I will also add some code to the Icon classes, and then I 
suggest that I will move on to improving the contact list, if you don't 
mind... I want to include groups, leave away people that you deleted, and 
most importantly: cache the list, to speed up things...

All sounds great! I think we've already come far into improving BeMSN!!! 
Btw, I'm thinking of setting up a small tutorial on downloading our sources 
and compiling them, for betatesters, on our page! what do you think?
