(11/05/92) 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. -Eric Litman Fed. Region, NeXT Campus Consultant
