By popular demand.... Here it is -- System V Chat (this is shareware, hit 'n' now if offended with this; and no flames please!). It's been checked out and works on Xenix and Microport (Xenix requires some hacks since there is no 'inittab'). You know what to do with this.... there is a README file... #!/bin/sh # shar: Shell Archiver # Run the following text with /bin/sh to create: # Makefile # README # chat.1 # chat.h # client.c # decl.h # funcs.c # server.c sed 's/^X//' << 'SHAR_EOF' > Makefile X# X# Makefile for Chat X# X# See the README file -- this should be ok for most users.

X XThis package is distributed under what is known as the 'Shareware' concept. X XShareware is a concept where software authors make programs available to the Xpublic at no direct cost.

X X XPORTING and INSTALLATION X======================== X XYou absolutely need NAMED PIPES (System III and later) X XYou will need: X X 1) A group you can use for CHAT, with access to a directory. X 2) Root access. X XEdit 'chat.h'. Specifically, you need to indicate where you want the files Xbuilt. This is specified as 'CHATDIR'. X XEdit the Makefile if you want, it's probably ok for most people. X XType 'make' (cross fingers, pray, etc.). X XCopy 'comserver' to a public directory, make it SGID your group, executable Xby 'root' and the group only. X XCopy 'chat' to a public directory, make it SGID your group, executable by world. X XCopy (and optionally format with nroff -man) the manual page (chat.1) X XOk, now, the tricky part. You need to add 'comserver' to 'inittab', as if Xit was a 'getty'. What you want, for System V machines, is: X Xx0:234:respawn:/u/lbin/comserver >/dev/null 2>&1 X Xsomewhere in your 'inittab' file. If you are not on System V, get it to run X(and re-submit when it dies) somehow, a script file running off the startup Xfiles is ok, just as long as 'comserver' can restart -- it will die and Xrestart (intentionally) every time the *last* person in a chat leaves. X XWith this in place, and an 'init q' typed to sync things, you should be in Xbusiness. Type 'chat' and verify that it works as expected. You should see Xa message indicating 'Connection' to the server, then a 'welcome' message. X XNote that the capacity of this version is 15 users, which is due to the Xopen-file limit and rather sparse, but high-performance approach to the Xproblem. For most small systems this is not an important limitation. Users Xwill be notified if 'chat' if currently full, and asked to try later. X XThe pipe files from the server are set to NDELAY. This will keep the Xserver from hanging if a user should shell escape for a while or otherwise Xnot be reading his/her end of the pipe. Note that the user who has stopped Xtheir copy of 'chat' can and will lost responses in this circumstance, but Xno other harm should occur. As the capacity of a pipe is at least 4096 Xcharacters, you would need to be gone for quite a while (about 100 lines Xworth) before this becomes a concern. X XProblems, corrections, enhancements, etc. welcome! X X X X XCHAT is a part of our multi-user conferencing solution for Unix. If you are Xinterested in the remainder of what we have to offer, including menuing, Xa multisite conferencing system, and new user registration, please contact XMCS using the information below. These other packages are available Xcommercially in both source and binary format, and in general will run on Xmost System V machines.

The chat system can Xaccomodate up to 15 simultaneous users communicating at one time. X XWhen you enter CHAT, you are 'on the air' with the other users who are Xrunning CHAT. Chat is always willing to accept a line of input from you Xwhich is either (1) a shell escape, (2) a command to CHAT, or (3) a line of Xtext to show to everyone else. X XAny line beginning with "!" is a shell escape, and the remainder of the line Xwill be passed to the shell for interpretation. X XA line beginning with "/" is a command. The following commands are known to Xthe CHAT program: X X/? \- Get assistance. This shows you the internal help for CHAT. X X/e \- Toggle echo. Controls the echo of lines to your screen. X X/k \- Kills a user in CHAT. Should be used with discretion. X X/n \- Set aliased name - changes your name in CHAT. X X/p \- Sends a private message to another user in CHAT. X X/s \- Shows CHAT status and logged in users X X/t \- Sends a message to any logged in user. X X/w \- Same as /s X X/h \- Same as /? X X.sp 1 XSpecial characters: X.sp 1 X<CTRL>X and <CTRL>U \- Delete current line, display [Cancelled]. X X<CTRL>H \- Backspace. X XA line which does not begin with either of these two characters is Xconsidered a data line and is sent to all the other connected terminals. XAll lines wrap at 68 characters. If you are using a command such as '/p' or X'/t', the prefix will be kept 'sticky' so you can send multi-line private Xmessages without worrying about the line breaks. X X.SH SECURITY X XCHAT uses named pipes for all data transmission, thus, there is no record of Xthe conversation kept inside of CHAT. Users who wish to record their Xconversations in CHAT are on their own. X XIn general, you can consider messages passed via '/p' secure. '/t' uses a Xsystem command and as such is a less secure method of passing sensitive Xinformation between users. X XThe /k command can be restricted if the Site Administrator desires. XGenerally speaking, misuse of this command will prompt most administrators Xto restrict it's use. Users should keep use of this command to emergencies Xand genuine need. X XIn it's current form, it is impossible for a user to mask who he/she really Xis. It is possible, however, for a user to deliberately confuse the issue Xby adopting another's name, etc... The offender will be obvious on a status Xdisplay. X X.SH COPYRIGHT X XCHAT is Copyrighted 1987 by Macro Computer Solutions, Inc. and available Xto the public as a 'sharware' program.

If you want to plug the software you distribute, then why do you
want to question the morality of software with the same function?
Just because it is shareware doesn't it make it more wasteful of
modems and phone bills. Besides, not everyone logged in to
systems are in through phone lines.

USENET is built on mostly Unix systems talking to each other mostly by leased or normal phone lines. To transfer the shareware from one system to another costs someone who is not the author nor the user money. In effect, the author is getting free a free advertising and distribution network as other people are paying the cost of those services for him. This is against the intent, at the very least, of USENET. (And, when it gets on on ARPANET or MILNET it's *really* against the intent.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David C.

That software is archived by many sites and published by more than one moderator. He is calling attention to an old usenet custom of not making money off the network. I know there has been considerable debate over the use of the network for shareware distribution, so I won't attempt to start-up that battle again. The fact that Karl used the alt.sources newsgroup for the distribution indicates that he is aware of the concern over this practice and he chose the best group he could think of in which to post. Ron seems to disagree strongly with Karl's choice and so Ron offers an alternative. Also, should Karl's code travel over certain transmission systems (i.e. ARPANET), it probably would violate the non-commercial use policy of that transmission system. Shareware is such a nice idea on the surface, but seems to be so much more complex underneath. -- Stan uucp:{killer,rice,hoptoad}!academ!sob Opinions expressed here Olan domain:sob@tmc.edu are ONLY mine & Barber CIS:71565,623 BBS:(713)790-9004 noone else's.
