The ytalk I used was on : a Sun and allowed multiple users to talk simultaneously by splitting the : terminal screen into multiple parts rather than the standard two : supplied by talk. Everything sounds identical in the man page as the : one I used in a standard shell.... Ytalk operates both in text and X modes, depending onthe DISPLAY env as the man page says. The version ditributed with FreeBSD, I have used only in text mode, but I do have X installed, so it's prolly reading the X libraries. installing those libraries (and then messing with ldconfig) should take care of the problem.. : If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to try it with the library just for the : heck of it. (Mainly cuz I'm stubborn and I love my ytalk!!) If it's a : bother then please don't worry about it. if you can't get it, drop me some mail in my mailbox and I can make those lis available to you. I missed your original post, so I'm not sure what rev of BSD you;re running - the libraries would be the ones that dstrib with 2.1. T
