if there isn't any problems with it, and to recap... tik is a tk/tcl version of the AIM client for X with many plugins [i guess i'll package those too unless anyone wants to grab them] and is a somewhat offical version and is an alternative to various others such as gaim, laim, etceteras. tac is also a pure tk/tcl version of the AIm client but is console based. still requires alot of work, but well worth it.
