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
----------

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).

Versions since 0.61 are by John Dovey. I have taken over a copy of the
source code from the kind gentlemen in Aussie and made the odd Mod here
and there !! I have started a Listserv that is the preferable forum for
support. Send mail to listserv@oliver.sun.ac.za with the following in
the body of your message :

SUBSCRIBE STICKY-TALK Firstname Lastname


Then to send mail to the group you address it to
Sticky-talk@oliver.sun.ac.za...

The reason for this is that if I cannot help you with your problem, then
there will hopefully be someone else on the list who can. The listserv
is also archived on gopher://lib.sun.ac.za/sticky or on
http://lib.sun.ac.za/john.html
