- Msend is a client/daemon that allows users to send tty messages to other
- users both locally and over a network (including the Internet). It is very
- flexible, offers support for GNU readline (not included), and has an rc file
- to allow a user to forward all incoming messages.
-
- This copy of the source has been tweaked a bit to compile on the NeXT. I
- have compiled and run the daemon and client under 2.1, 2.2, and 3.0, each
- time without a problem. The only cosmetic change I have made to the program
- is to have it bell when a message comes in (which is not how it shipped.)
-
- I run this package in conjunction with the TCP wrappers package which reports
- all incoming daemon activity. I will happily submit a copy of this if there
- is demand.
-
- Note that there is something that needs to be done in NetInfo for msendd to
- work correctly. Look in the 'Configuration' file for more info.
-
- I have included precompiled versions for those of you without compilers.
