Multi user chat - Version 1.2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: There was a n error in the first post this morning.  If you got
      it before the cancellation please ignore it.  This is the correct
      posting.  Sorry for any inconvenience.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well here it is.  This time the header file is included.  I also dropped
the getopt.h and process.h include statements and just included the
relevant prototypes and extern declarations where required.  Hopefully
this will avoid some problems that people have been having.

You will need an ANSI compiler to compile this or else a filter such as
unprotoize in order to compile this.

This has been tested on ESIX 3.2 Rel D compiling with GNU C.  I
used the standard libraries but the header files are a modified
version of the ones that came with the development set.  I believe
that the result is a fairly compliant ANSI environment but if you
have an ANSI compiler that chokes on this I would certainly like
to hear from you.

I would also like to get your comments on the package itself.  If
you have any suggestions for added features or improvements please
send them along.  I hope to have a network (TLI) version soon.  I
would create a sockets version but I don't have any experience in
that area or a system to play with.  If anyone wants to create a
chc_sock.c and chs_sock.c file I will gladly include it in the
distribution.

Enjoy.

This is the header file for chat programs

If NO_SH_ESC is defined, shell escapes are disabled.
X
If NO_CHG_NAME is defined, users cannot change their display name from
the default which is the login name.
X
If NO_SHOW_USERS is defined, The /s command to show other users on the
system is disabled.
X
Some curses libraries in SV3.2 (and perhaps others) have a bug in that
halfdelay does not work as advertised.  To get around this define the
constant HALFDELAY_BROKEN.  This will cause code to be substituted which
uses a 2 second alarm to check the queue for incoming messages.  If you
don't know if this is necessary on your system then compile without it
and see if you can receive messages from others without hitting a key.
If not then recompile with the constant defined.

X
Chat allows more than one user on a system to be involved
in a conference via their terminal.  It consists of a foreground
part and a background part.
X
chatter is the background process.  It looks for messages from 
other processes and sends messages to them.  It should be put into
inittab so that it always restarts.
X
chat is the front end and is the program run by users wishing to
join or start a chat.  In chat, lines starting with / are commands.
enter /? or /h for a list of commands
X
To call chat simply enter chat from the command line.  Various 
options are available and are accessed by adding '-x' to the command
where x is one of the following letters:
X
h   Displays a usage message instead of running the program.
n   Takes the following name and uses it instead of login name.
f   Takes the following file and keeps a log of the conversation in it.
X
Example:
X
chat -n "D'Arcy" -f chat.log
X
This starts chat, sets up the name as D'Arcy, opens the file chat.log
and keeps a record of the chat in it.  Note that the quotes around
D'Arcy are only neccessary because of the apostrophe.
X
The n option can be set from within the program as well.
X
Move chat.make to Makefile and run make to create the programs.
X
X
Chat Wish List:
X
These are a few things that I hope to add to chat later.  If you can
think of other enhancements please let me know.
X
- A TLI version.  I have made a small start on this but if anyone wants
X  to give it a try, go ahead.  Use the ???_msg.c files as models.  You
X  should be able to write ???_tli.c files that just link into the other
X  files without changing them.
X
- A monitor program.  This is mostly a matter of deciding what it should
X  do.  One idea would be to print the name of the user any time there was
X  any activity from the chatter.  This could be monitored in any way one
X  chooses.  A simplistic method would be to run the monitor program in
X  background and allow it to interupt the user each time there was any
X  activity.  Of course there are other possibilities.  On my system, for
X  example, I would put it in background and pipe it to a program that
X  displays the name on the LED's on my front panel.
X
X
Enjoy.
