maw@auc (Michael A. Walker) (12/06/86)
Greetings:
My name is Michael A. Walker and I am an operator at the Atlanta
University Center Computer Center in Atlanta, GA. We are a fairly new UNIX
shop, running UNIX SYSTEM V and we are in the process of building our software
and hardware inventory.
We are aware that there exists a TALK facility for the BSD 4.2 systems
and that it has been distributed to educational institutions such as ours at no
charge. This facility will greatly enhance the intercommunication links with
our users and staff. Presently, we can only WRITE to each other. This method
is very tedious to use due to the existence of a long lag time between persons
receiving the incoming messages.
I am requesting from anyone to either send me the sources for this
facility or send me information(i.e. who I can contact directly to request a
copy of TALK). All help will be greatly appreciated.
With kindest regards, I remain
Sincerely,
Michael A. Walker
Operator, AUC Computer Center
