Chatter 1.0
----------
Chatter is an IRC-style chatting program that connects
directly from person to person (host to host) instead of using a server. This
means that you'll be chatting with one person at a time,- no conferences.
Chatter is multithreaded and you can chat with as many people as you'd like,
but you'll get a new window for each conversation (interestingly this also
means that you can connect and chat with yourself).
Two of the most interesting features are a little database, where you can
have a list of people to connect to and a rather humorus action-list with
some "standard" comments (Saying hello, Laughing out loud, etc.) to send by
clicking the mouse (those were supplied by my friend Flywheel).
There is a command-history available - by pressing arrow up/down and you can
use the commands "/me" and "/peer" for substituting names (try it).

Requirements
-------------
Chatter requires Java 1.1.1 or later installed.
If you don't already have this I suggest that you look for it at
java.sun.com, www.ibm.com or maybe even www.microsoft.com. You'd also need
some kind of TCP/IP network connection (eg dial-up or cabel).
Installation
----------
Unzip chatter.zip into a suitable directory, such as
for example c:\chatter - and that's it.
You execute the program in most environments by issuing the command "java
chatter" from the directory in which it is unzipped. Although in some
environments you'd write "jre -cp c:\chatter Chatter".
Additionally you can specify the command-line option "-listen" (e.g.: "java
chatter -listen"), causing the chatter to start listening for incoming calls
immediately.
In most environments there are alternative commands for starting java
applications, bypassing commandline windows. Examples are: "javapm.exe" and
"jrew.exe".
Conditions of use
----------------
Chatter is shareware. This means that you
can try it for free for a period of two weeks. If you intend to use Chatter
beyond this period you must register with BMT-Micro. The registration fee (of
$25) will license you to use the Chatter on one computer.
You are not allowed to modify or in any alter the code.
Chatter is nag-free software so what encourages you to register is the
knowledge that registering will put another meal on my table and that
registering shareware is what encourages developers to continue and one of
the reasons that there are so much great software out there.
