  • What is YCHT, and is it supported?
    YCHT is a dedicated Yahoo chat protocol (Yahoo Chat), for use in simple chat clients. It is preferred by some programmers because of its more readable data format. Many have predicted that Yahoo will phase out YCHT in favour of its big brother, YMSG, eventually. jMsngr does not uses YCHT - but uses the chat features of its bigger brother, YMSG.
  • Is jMsngr in any way endorsed or supported by Yahoo! Inc. themselves?
    No.
