Compiling Source

If you want to compile the latest source, you must comment out the following declarations in your local copy of the system header file, NetPacket.h.
   // These don't do anything but call ::new and ::delete.  They're
   // here to ensure binary compatibility with older add-ons.
//  void *operator new(size_t size);
//  void operator delete(void *ptr);
If you don't do this, BAD THINGS will happen. Very, very bad things.


Support ICBM

[Current Support = 0.0]

When you're planning to buy something from one of these retailers, come here, click through on that retailer, buy something during that session and support development of ICBM (and other product development) through affiliate commissions.
If this is successful, I'm sure other sites will begin using this idea. If not, well, the source is still under GPL.

Remember when you (or your company) buys anything for anyone, come here first!
