Accbuddy.exe is a no-frills client distributed by the AIMcc team as part of their SDK, to help with debugging.

1) Locate accbuddy.exe in your AIMcc SDK dirs (e.g., mine is in aimcc1.2.1.1281distdebug)

2) Download the following MS debug-support DLLs into that same dir:

https://www.cm.aol.com/viewcvs/clientdev/viewcvs.cgi/sdks/microsoft/vc6/bin/debug/MSVCRTD.DLL

https://www.cm.aol.com/viewcvs/clientdev/viewcvs.cgi/sdks/microsoft/vc71/bin/debug/msvcr71d.dll

https://www.cm.aol.com/viewcvs/clientdev/viewcvs.cgi/sdks/microsoft/vc71/bin/debug/msvcp71d.dll

3) Double-click accbuddy.exe and enter your login when prompted.

4) Type :h for a list of commands, or :q to quit

5) View the trace file by doing Start|Run and entering %temp%.  Locate the xprt* file, representing the xprt library’s portion of the session.  (I believe there should also be a trace.txt file representing the AIMcc portion of the session, but I don’t see one.)

Here are all the commands:

:h     {cmd}         get (this) list of commands
:q                   log out and quit
:sid   key           enter SecurID key
