The client-is-ready SNAC is sent by the OSCAR client as the final step of LoggingIn. The format of this packet is:

Include(/Format)

The SNAC contains a series of SnacFamilyVersionsBlock``s, one for each SNAC family supported.

Since your client does not use the AIM modules ("tools"), it should probably emulate the values sent by the official AIM clients. See

ClientReadySnac for details. As of AIM 5.5.3415 beta, the SNAC
family versions and tool versions sent are as follows:

|| Family || Version || Tool ID || Tool version || || 0x0001 || 0x0004 || 0x0010 || 0x0801 || || 0x0002 || 0x0001 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 || || 0x0003 || 0x0001 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 || || 0x0004 || 0x0001 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 || || 0x0006 || 0x0001 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 || || 0x0008 || 0x0001 || 0x0104 || 0x0001 || || 0x0009 || 0x0001 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 || || 0x000a || 0x0001 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 || || 0x000b || 0x0001 || 0x0104 || 0x0001 || || 0x0013 || 0x0003 || 0x0110 || 0x0801 ||

The SNAC family versions block is used to store version information for a SNAC family. This structure is used solely in the ClientReadySnac. The format of this data structure is as follows:

Include(/Format)

{{{family}}} is the SNAC family ID. {{{version}}} is the version of that family supported. {{{toolID}}} describes which AIM module is being used to communicate with the family; {{{toolVersion}}} is the version of that module.

Since your client does not use the AIM modules, it should probably emulate the values sent by the official AIM clients. See ClientReadySnac for details.
