Has anyone written a split-screen chat program like the unix TALK for
the Mac? There are well over 50 users on my Mac network and it sure
would be handy sometimes to have a utility like this.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

Or you could bug Pete Resnick (resnick@cogsci.uiuc.edu), who's been saying that he wants to write such a program (<duck> Sorry, Pete :-) ) -- //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Lanett ml27192@uxa.cs.uiuc.edu Software Tools Group, NCSA mlanett@ncsa.uiuc.edu
