BlueTOC is meant to act as an AIM instant messaging client using the TOC protocol (not OSCAR). ICQ is also supported by this class. It can perform normal tasks such as receiving and sending instant messages, joining chats and other activities on the AIM network.

Applications can customize the interaction with the AIM network by the means event handling callback functions. The login and and other basic actions and events are covered. All you need is to specify a user name and password to the class and it will sign on (but it will do nothing unless you set up event handlers).

BlueTOC supports all the open TOC protocol features such as: instant messages, chats, buddy lists, warning (evil-ing), profile information, member directory, rendezvous proposals, formatting nicknames, automatic messages, password changing, and setting idle.
