- Short: Par/Sernet chat and command server
-
- NetUtilities - (C) 1993 Pyxis Productions
- --------------------------------------
- These programs require the ParNet or SerNet packages, available
- separately.
-
- There are some great utilities available for the Amiga which allow
- parallel and serial connections between two machines. This allows
- files to be transferred effortlessly, and programs on either
- hard-drive to be shared.
-
- If you have both machines in the same room, possibly operated by the
- same person, talking back and forth isn't a problem... But suppose you
- had two rooms with a computer in each one of them, and you didn't want
- to yell stuff across to the other room... Thus NetUtilities was born.
-
-
- What's In the Package:
- ----------------------
-
- Inform - This is the background message server. This always hangs
- around and checks for stuff coming from the other machine, and calls
- the appropriate command when it is sent. Inform will flash the other
- computer's screen when you try run "Send".
-
- Send - A small CLI program which you can run to open a chat-send
- window on your machine. Just type into it as you would into a CLI
- window. When you press RETURN at the end of each line, it will be
- sent to the other machine.
-
- Receive - Another small program which opens a chat-receive window on
- your screen.
-
- NetCmd - This allows you to execute a command on the other person's
- computer. Say for instance you have a reboot command on the remote
- machine... If you executed it from your computer, it would load the
- code to your machine and reboot your machine. With "NetCmd", the
- "Inform" program will sense the command coming over the network, and
- execute it on the receiving machine, so in this case the remote
- machine would execute reboot and reboot the remote machine.
-
- Reboot - Executes a warm reset. Handy with NetCmd.

- Legal Stuff:
- ------------
-
- Since we are including the source code in this for you to mutilate to
- your
- heart's content, we ask only that you mention us in the credits of
- whatever project you use the code in, or use the program to develop.

- didn't charge you for this program, so return the favor, and don't
- charge

-
- In other words, this program may NOT be included on any disk or media
- for
