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! 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).
