ICQ 2001b Alpha v 5.05 Build #3619
Another day, another build of ICQ. Does this program *ever* go final? The latest version is Alpha (despite the little 'b' in the name), and ICQ warns that certain features are known to be buggy and/or incompatible with previous versions of ICQ. The download time for people wanting to try the Alpha is limited, so if you want it, get it now.
