AmTALK Version 1.5 (11.5.97). List of changes
is included in the archive.

AmTALK is a combined server/client for the Internet TALK
protocol for point-to-point online chatting.

AmTALK has the following highlites:

- fully multithreaded for several talk sessions at once.

- Auto answer facility to accept talk requests and store
  incoming messages. Can be triggered manually or by
  a user-definable timeout. Optional auto answer
  information icon on workbench displaying number
  of new and unread messages.

- "Locate" function to locate an AmTALK user on a dynamic 
  IP address even if you don't know the exact IP number 
  he is using right now.

- History of last used talk addresses for easy access.

- user configurable sounds for notifying of incoming
  talk requests and successfully established talk links.

- Userlist to store frequently used talk partners,
  with aliasing for easy talk start and specificable
  access privilleges (override auto answer,
  refuse/ignore always, locate always etc.)

- Can be started from inetd, or reside resident in
  the background, activated by hotkey.

- Supports clipboard Cut & Paste from talk windows.

- Keeps a full log of incoming talk requests.

- nice and friendly GUI to start talks, control
  operation and configuration.

- handles incoming talk requests with "wrong" usernames
  gracefully.

- keyboard resethandler to gracefully close active talk
  requests upon a soft reset.

- works with Miami, AmiTCP and as225r2-derived TCP/IP stacks.
