From what I've heard, and can tell, the program has a Graphical User
Interfase dependancy.  If a scripter would like to use a lot of effort, it
would be a better program than Trillian.
What are the standard features?

everything you'd expect from an instant messenger
List of 12 items
. Send and Receive instant messages
. Add and remove contacts
. Get notified when someone adds you to their list.
. See whether on not your contacts are online
. See your contacts extended status, (away, be right back, etc.)
. Set your extended status
. Send rich text messages. You can change your font and font color, add
underline and bold, etc.
. Use emoticons :) in your conversations. The service specific emoticons are
used for the service the conversation is on.
. Hyperlink support. Automatically make web address in conversations
clickable links.
. Contact group importing and unified group management.
. Typing notifications allow you to see when others are typing.
. Block contacts to hide you're online status from them and disallow
incoming messages.

Jaws has no hold on this program, and I don't suggest it to anyone with JFW.
