Ok..... you know that wonderful little talk program (the one with the menu
and multiple users?).... Well.... If your unix system doesn't have a
TALK-DAEMON...... HOW can you use it?..... I am reffering to The
University's unix system..... So logging on as root and creating a Talk
Daemon is definitely out of the question....

Thanks in Advance!

The problem isn't the non-existance of a talk daemon. ytalk fails
to work on some systems because there are many versions of talkd
out there, and some of them are incompatible with talk clients.

Fortunately, there are also a few versions of ytalk out there. Some
of them are patched to work with other talkd's.

ytalk3 was recently posted to comp.sources.unix (and
can be ftp'd from sites that archive the group, such as
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume27/ytalk-3.0).
It is more compatible than version 2.
