- 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.
