Microsoft Messenger 6.0 for Mac coming later this year

Some news from the Mac side of things. This snippet is from the MacWorld News pages:

Microsoft Messenger for Mac 6.0, a new version of Microsoft’s instant messaging application, is coming “later this year,” according to the company. It will include features such as federation with Yahoo! Messenger, customized emoticons and spell check. Users will also be able to display personal messages or what song’s playing in iTunes.

As it looks, we will – again – have to wait for video and voice support.

Display Picture / Custom Emoticon Finder

This small example searches the Internet Explorer cache directory for display pictures and custom emoticons from your contacts, where they are stored as BIN files in PNG format.

I don’t think I could get the Dir$() function to search IE cache so I used the find files API. Not sure if it works on 9x. It uses GDI+ to display the images.
