Latest MICQ in date compiled with GCC 2.8.1 and MiNTlib pl48.
To get the color working you need a recent TOSWIN2 version. 
Or you can still use micq from a tty (vcons) but you will
need to disable the color, by just typing the word "color".
A good place to copy micq is in /usr/local/bin directory.
Thanks.
