Converse Version 1.0 This is my first independent program since NeXT Training (http://www.next.com/Services/Training/OLS/OLS_10wk.html). Actually, I started this program while I was still in training. I am really liking and enjoying this "new" (to me) environment. I wish I had found it long ago. :-) This program is my attempt to fill an application void identified by my team at Revco D.S., Inc. We want a way to send messages to others, and the other person to get immediate notification. Something like "popup" in the Novell network environment. While filling this void, I am also learning how to implement a number of new programming areas. I am using Distributed Objects, shared-preference panels (view swapping), the defaults database , a splitView, and different memory zones. I also want to add help. I feel ambitious! Version 1.0 1/1/96 This is the beginning. This application will allow a NeXT user to send a message to multiple other users (using Distributed Objects). The user enters a message into the Input area, selects a User Address, and sends. Messages received, as well as a copy of all outgoing messages appear in the gray Log area. A list of User Addresses can be maintained individually or shared. Help is available. This code is officially in the public domain. You may use it and redistribute it any way you like. I offer no support (Although you can send me comments and questions.), and I deny any liability, fitness for any particular purpose, and all that. I don't claim that it actually works, although it does, of course, like all software that claims in loud capital letters that it may not work, because we live in such an absurdly litigious society that everyone is afraid of being sued.
