Client for Yahoo

[Björnke von Gierke]

I looked at http://www.ycoderscookbook.com/ and on a quick glance  
couldn't find anything technical that'd prohibit you from using rev.  
You need to fully understand all of the following topics though  
(probably even more stuff):

client-server communication basics
port, ip and socket basics
rev's way of doing socket communication with messages
different encodings like hex, binary and ascii
the binarydecode, binaryencode and baseConvert functions of rev

However, the legality of making your own client without asking yahoo  
for permission is a gray area at best.

I am always happy to help people with networking, but I tend to  
emphasise on how incredibly much work needs to be done to get basic  
stuff working. If you can deal with that, it's best to ask me on  
chatrev about the stuff I mentioned above.

cheers
Björnke
