ytalk
Version: V3.0 Patch Level 1.
A multi-user chat program by Britt Yenne
. YTalk works almost exactly like the
standard
Unix
talk
program and even communicates with the
same talk
daemon
(s), but YTalk supports multiple
connections.
Multiple user names may be given as command-line arguments, in
the form "name#tty@host" where the optional "#tty" specifies a
particular tty.
YTalk is able to communicate with both existing versions of
Unix
talk daemons. Once connected, typing
escape
gives
access to a menu of commands to add or delete users, trace
to a file, or set options. If run under the
X Window System
, YTalk will use separate X windows for each user in
the conversaton, otherwise it will split the terminal screen
between them.
