Ccoms

Ccoms, an abbreviation for "chat commands", is used to refer to any program which employs text-based commands typed into an AOL chat room to control a third-party program such as an mp3 player, password cracker, or similar program. The term eventually became a generic term used to describe only mp3 players. The programs utilized many of AOL's API functions to operate and were usually programmed in the Visual Basic language. The most popular website used for obtaining these programs at their height of popularity was the now-defunct Lenshell.com.
