Frogblast is not currently open source, but I expecting to GPL it
sometime in the near future (no guarantees) simply because I don't have
enough time to work on it any longer. Frankly, it's quite a boring
project compared to some of the stuff I could be doing.
The (not hotline specific) socket class I use is a small objective-c
wrapper on top of a CFSocket. I'm currently revising that now, and
patching it up to be open sourced separately from the main project. By
the time it sees the light of day, it may not be based on CFSocket (I
may drop down to straight unix sockets and manage the CFRunLoop
myself). Some new APIs introduced in Jaguar (namely, CFStreams) would
make my planned feature set terribly easy to do, but I really want this
to remain backwards compatible with 10.0.
Regarding the hotline specific parts of my code, it was mostly done
through a combination of using the Hotline Protocol Guide found at
vivahx.com, and a lot of munging around with tcpdump and hex/ascii
tables. If Frogblast is ever open sourced (and if it ends up under a
license acceptable to you), the HLSocket class should be fairly portable
to other applications with minimal modification.

Hello!
I am developing the first Cocoa Hotline and Carracho client as well as
a new protocol called Swap. Problem is I need to figure out how to
connect to the servers. Anyone have the source for "FrogBlast" so I
could learn from it? Either that or could someone send me info on how
to connect to these protocols using Cocoa.
