iCAR: iChat Auto-Reply

By C.K. Sample, III

iCAR, which stands for iChat Auto-Reply, has been updated for Tiger.

"But, Tiger, unlike Panther, now has auto-reply in iChat!" you protest.

"Yes, yes," I say, "but iCAR makes Tiger's auto-reply better than perfect!"

"Can it be true?!" you stammer.

Yes. iCAR for Tiger is an iChat plugin that "implements an advanced auto-reply function. Replies may be sent after every message received, after only the first one from each buddy, or only if a certain time interval has elapsed. They may be sent when you are available or idle, not only when you have set yourself as 'away'. Furthermore, the content of an iCAR auto-reply is not limited to your iChat status: it may be entered manually, selected randomly, or even generated dynamically by an AppleScript or a Unix command." It's also free GNU GPL. Nice.
