BeMSN is a MSN Messenger clone. If you have an hotmail account or an MSN passport now you can send instant messages to your friends from BeOS. 

This package includes a built cryptlib library (libcl.so.3.1.0). You must move this file to the /boot/home/config/lib folder an easy way of doing this is to move it into the included link "Drag libcl.so.3.1.0 here" . After doing so you can delete this link. 
This library was built on BeOS R5 with BONE. If you get the message "Failed activating the SSL session" you should you are having problems getting it to work on you system, try downloading it and build it yourself. You can find it here: 
	http://www.bebits.com/app/3682 or directly at 
	http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/cryptlib/

Download it, then open a terminal window:
	mkdir clib31
	unzip -a cl31.zip -d ./clib31/
	#(the -a flag converts the windows new lines to unix ones).
	#The to create the shared library type: "make shared".
	#This will create a file called libcl.so.3.1.0, copy it to the lib directory
	cp libcl.so.3.1.0 /boot/home/config/lib

What's new in Alpha 1.5
It's working again. Now, thanks to the great library cryptlib 3.1.0, BeMSN can sign you in to the MSN Network once more.
Based on MSN Protocol 8.
Deskbar Icon
Save your conversations.

What's new in Beta 1.4
Preferences panel (optional initial status)
Now you can invite people to your conversation just by dragging them to the window.
Fixed minor problems involving bad behavior of some threads.

I haven't done much testing, but it's quite usable. Please email me any bugs, comments or sugestions.

It is very easy to use. The first thing you need to do is sign in, go to the File menu and click on Sing In...
If it succeeds BeMSN will download your contact list and sort it out.
Once you are signed in you can change your status, use the Status menu to do it.
Double click on any online contact to start a conversation.
Drag any online contact to a chatting window to add him to the conversation. Click once to select, then a second time and hold down to drag.
You can right click on any contact in your list to view their screen name or passport.
You can also add, delete or block/unblock any user in your contact list. Use the Contact List menu to do it.
You can configure the sound for online notification and when someone sends you a message. Just select "Preferences" form the File menu. If you want to disable the sound just clear the text fields. From this preference panel you can also configure your initial status when you sign in, just select it from the menu.

I have not found all the bugs in it, I will solve them as they show themselves.

If you want to find out how the MSN protocol works run BeMSN from a Terminal to view what's going on. Also check this web site: http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/index.php
