Product Description:

iCAR is the iChat Auto-Reply. It adds a simple "away message" feature to iChat, something that's been lacking in an otherwise excellent chat client. iCAR is licensed under the GNU General Public License, and source code is available.

What's new in this version:

  • AppleScript and Unix errors are reported more visibly
  • AppleScript path and Unix command retain values more effectively
  • preview of manual reply in preference pane
  • auto-reply window is now a utility panel
  • AppleScript path and Unix command take effect immediately after browsing
  • removed menu item (if you really miss this, email me and I'll bring it back)
  • more tokens are parsed (%f, %l, %s)
  • manual reply string is now saved with attributes (style)
  • more environment variables (iCAR_status, iCAR_statusmessage, iCAR_timingmode)
  • no reply is sent if iChat is set to the default available status (that is, "Available")
  • compiled for Panther — fixes many crasher bugs on 10.3, probably will not work on Jaguar
  • support for iChat 1.0 removed

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
  • iChat AV

Has anyone got iCAR to work on an intel mac. I was using iCAR successfully for over a year until I upgraded my Mac and now it will not work anymore.
