Hi All.
Finally an authentic ICQ clone for OS/2 Warp has been released, by the Russian developer Konstantin Bondarchuk. We tested here on Warp 4 FP6 some ICQs, including the Java ICQ, but, sincerelly, this by Bondarchuk is the best in show. But its not a freeware (hehehehe, man, where is the famous Russian idealism? At this time I'm thinking that the only Russian programmer really idealist is just Ivanopulo...).

Folks, I downloaded this fine release from Hobbes (icecq_201a, 250KB), installed it on my Warp 4 Client, registered my UIN in seconds and this Russian clone is now running just fine here as the original ICQ for Windows platform. Sincerelly, this release is the most perfect that I see! But this file is a demo, brothers, and here is the limitations:
