Network Neighborhood Instant Message The idea behind this project is to have an instant message between two computers on a local area network. It works by creating 2 text files on the server. A timer periodically checks for the existence of the one text file and restores the minimized message box on the other machine when it is found to exist. The only difference between the Server and Client programs are the paths specified as fClient and fServer. Also these values are swapped. When the window is closed, or ended the files are deleted. When a message is sent either way the files are replaced. The contents of the files are continually written to the textboxes with the timer. The path to the Server must be put in the Client part of the project.
