Few months ago I started writing the same project - platform
independent network chat compatible with Vypress Chat for Windows
(http://www.vypress.com) - serverless chat using UDP packets - it is
very useful for small LAN's.

Now it is almost fully functional, but available only for Unix/Linux
because I didn't noticed that select() on Windows doesn't support file
descriptors, so I am going to rewrite chat using threads. If someone
wants to help me writing this chat, welcome to my email or write
messages to this list (I don't think it is an offtopic here).

Without C we'd have BASI, PASAL, OBOL ;-)
