I'm looking for a Instant messenger like that of WinPOPUP from Win95/98
to use at my work for our staff, one of lads was going to write a app but we just aint had time recently, the staff use winpopup, but those on XP and 2k have problems with "Console Message"
Anyone know of any freelike software for internal lan messaging ???
Links if you could please
Cheers
You mean like the built-in Messenger service?
(WinPopup exists as Win9x doesn't have a built-in Messenger service.)
If it's running on your clients then try a NET SEND from the command line to one of them as a test.
No GUI as far as I know, but you can target machines, users or the entire domain using NET SEND.
Type NET HELP SEND at a DOS prompt to see the syntax.
HTH

Oops, sorry were you asking for a full-blown IM chat program, or a utility to make (status) messages pop up on users' PCs?
The Messenger service is purely for making a pop-up window appear on the users' desktop with your text in it, if you want them to be able to reply it's not much good
