- Sticky
- ------
-
- Simple VB3 WINSOCK app to allow a very simple inter-PC communication
- using a metaphor of those millions of bits of sticky yellow paper.
- You can send a message to any PC with Sticky "listen" running.
-
-
- To install
- ----------
-
- anon ftp to commsun.its.csiro.au, cd csiro/msdos/sticky, bin get sticky.zip
-
- pkunzip sticky.zip producing these files:
-
- sticky.ini - move to c:\windows
- You will want to config this using the config
- option of stickyt
- vbrun300.dll - move to c:\windows\system
- stickyt.exe - sticky talk program - use this to config and send
- messages
- stickyl.exe - sticky listen program - use this to receive messages
-
- Copy the *.exe files to any directory, and define them to program manager
- - probably in the startup group.
-
-
- Tested with TRUMPET WINSOCK Alpha 18, and nothing else.
-
-
- Using it from UNIX
- ------------------
-
- Try sending a message from a UNIX session by telnetting to the PC at port
- (default) 6711 - then type in, for example:
- 0005Harry0007Go home!<enter>
-
-
- Ownership
- ---------
-
- Owned by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization
- (CSIRO), ITSB, Canberra, Australia. Written in a hurry by Kent Fitch.
- The executable can be used by anyone, but not resold. Source is available
- (but a bit scrappy) - send email to commprog@its.csiro.au with a donation
- made out to CSIRO. (CSIRO is a government funded not-for-profit organization
- - we always need more money).
