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.
