  YTalk
       
          Version: V3.0 Patch Level 1.
       
           A multi-user chat program by Britt Yenne
          .  YTalk works almost exactly like the


          standard {Unix} {talk} program and even communicates with the
          same talk {daemon}(s), but YTalk supports multiple
          connections.
       
          Multiple user names may be given as command-line arguments, in
          the form "name#tty@host" where the optional "#tty" specifies a
          particular tty.
       
          YTalk is able to communicate with both existing versions of
          {Unix} talk daemons.  Once connected, typing {escape} gives
          access to a menu of commands to add or delete users, trace
          to a file, or set options.  If run under the {X Window
          System}, YTalk will use separate X windows for each user in
          the conversaton, otherwise it will split the terminal screen
          between them.
