Does anybody out there have an "xtalk" type program? It sure is a pain when "talk" doesn't know which xterm to connect to. _____________________________________ Brian V. Smith (bvsmith@lbl.gov) Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory We don't need no signatures!

I don't have the program you seek, but I would like to know where you get one if you get one. Thanks --Bruce Cameron Mayo Foundation

I would like to say: % xtalk berlin And it would connect to berlin:0, or berlin:1, and put up a xterm type window with the normal talk screen on the guys workstation! I realize we will have to set up X0.hosts correctly..... ANYBODY WORKING ON SOMETHING THIS USEFUL?!?!?!

I realize we will have > Well, this may not do exactly what talk does, but there is an application in the contrib portion of the X sources called "xmessage". I haven't used it much, but I tried it out once, and was able to pop up a window on another users display asking if he was ready to go to lunch. He saw my question, and two buttons labeled "yes" and "no". Once he clicked on "yes", yes was printed on my terminal and xmessage exited. This may not do what talk does, but it seems like it might be a good place to start. Robert
