Description
===========
Application for message exchange between computers
in local area network. It's compatible with WinPopup
program included into Windows 95/98. It works also in
a Windows NT 4.0.

By default at startup NetTalk lives in the Windows tray.
To show it double click to it's icon on the tray. To put
it back click minimize button or "Hide" button.

To send message to single computer you have to run NetTalk
on both workstations, then type or select from list computer
name and press "SEND" button.
To send message to all computers in a domain just select
radio button "All computer in domain". Then click to "SEND" button".
If other side sent message to you, you'll receive it in a
popup window. There you may press "Close" or "Reply" to put
Sender name into button control "Computer name". Also this message
will be stored in a History (ChecBox "History"). You can scroll
and delete all incoming messages.
If you don't want to receive incoming messages in the Popup window,
just unselect menu "Options->Popup incoming messages".

New switch-button "OnLine & Offline" permits you to not to receive popup window
and sound notifications (OffLine mode). It useful, for example, when you
are playing in some game or when you are away.
In OffLine mode your computer will be in red color in the computer's list.
and in blue color when you are in OnLine mode.

In the Chat window you can assign any yourself's Nick Name.
If some user is connected to the chat, his name will be shown
in a ListBox.
To send your message to all users in the chat, type it in the
Edit control on bottom of Chat window and press Enter.
To send notification sound to user, just select it in the ListBox
and press Ctrl-G or second button on the ToolBar.
First button on the ToolBar will request other side to private chat.

Shareware limitations
=====================
Unregistered version of NetTalk will work during 2 weeks after first run.
After this period user must stop evaluation or register (See Registration section).


Note!!!
=========================
NetTalk uses Mailslot technology to send and receive messages.
Windows 95/98 uses it too when WinPopup is running.
That's why before run NetTalk be sure that WinPopup is closed.
Under Windows NT WinPopup is absent, but it uses mailslots via
"Messenger" service. Before run NetTalk under Windows NT you have
to stop Messenger service. Also I recomend you to make it's startup
type to Manual.

Installation
============
No special action is required. Just copy 3 files to any folder:
NetTalk.exe
ChatBeep.wav
Message.wav
The best way is to make shortcut for NetTalk to Windows Startup folder
or include it into Windows NT's logon script.
