INTRODUCTION
------------
Talk lets you chat with another person on your network.  It brings up
a requester on that machine stating you wish to chat with them.  If
no response is received, it will timeout - to prevent the connection
from hanging forever.

This is probably the SIMPLIEST practical two-way communcation example
of an Envoy service.

CLI version only.  No workbench frontend exists at this time.

All files related to this service are free to use and free to distribute.
You are free to modified them as well, as long as proper credit is given.



SETUP
-----
Any machine you wish to initiate a talk with must have talk.service
installed (and active) on it using Services Configuration.

You must have talk.service installed (and active) on your machine if any
other machine wishes to initiate a talk to you.

(Plus, a reboot to "activate" the service.)



OPTIONS - COMMAND LINE
----------------------
TALK <machine name>



UPDATES
-------
o Fancy font sensitive requester will be added shortly.

o Put doc's in Amiga Guide format



OTHER SERVICES
--------------
CONF - a conference service is also currently available.

A message (mail) service is in the works and shall be finished shortly.



CREDITS
-------
I'd like to thank all the people who worked on Envoy.  Especially Ken Dyke
for putting up with all my questions and bug reports as well as a sample
service to follow.
