Unzip this file wherever you wish, and edit the config.im file with your relevant info. Go to a command window or shell, and enter "perl sdba.pl", or "perl sdbayim.pl" for Yahoo! and you are off! If it says "SDBA Revolution IM Application Server loaded succesfully!", try to send a message to the screenname you picked.

You will need Net::AIM for AIM or ICQ (See Docs page), and MSN.pm for MSN. This version of MSN.pm is an edited version borrowed from Wiredbots (who had edited the original) with some changes to the logging (did not work correctly under Windows), see Resources page for orignial version. You will need Net::YahooMessenger (included in the zip) and Crypt::PasswdMD5 (get from PPM or CPAN) for YIM compatibility.

If you run into an error, make sure you read the Docs page for links and instructions for what you need before you can run this.
