I found the framework you are speaking of (under in infamous
PrivateFrameworks folder, bum bum bum!), but there are no headers or
anything in there. Just every image that I have ever seen used in iChat, the
iChat Agent, and then the compiled framework binary. What is a class-dump? I
have never heard of that before. If it involves reading hexadecimal numbers,
well, I have never really been good at that :-).

This is going to be a very scary endeavor, trying to use a private Apple
framework. Hell, it's hard enough using WebCore which is actually intended
to be public! :-D

Anyway, any information on class dumping and other methods of reading this
kind of stuff would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Mw
