• About Chat

  Chat was made by Robin, my ex-neighbour. These are his comments:

  Here is a little piece of software I wrote when I had nothing better to do. It is a multi-user, multi-window, multi-channel chat program that runs on top of IPX. Features include:

  • optional channel selection at start-up,
  • a separate window for each individual party,
  • user identification by net-card number (see chat.usr),
  • automatic sign-on and sing-off, and
  • word wrapping.

  It is a broadcast-only application, so be careful with large networks. A rudimentary form of encryption is implemented but don't count on it to be secure enough for communicating confidential information using this medium. Nonetheless, I hope you find this program useful, there is no copyright so give it to anyone you like (don't charge anything, it isn't worth it).

• Ernie on Chat

  Chat is very useful to make contact with fellow players when starting a network game in plain DOS. Often these games demand a lot of memory, so there's no room for the complete Novell software. Like most games, Chat only needs the IPX driver.

  You can tell Chat to use a different IPX-socket with a parameter between 1 and 50 (privat chat) and it has been tested in a Win-DosBox.
