NetUtilities - (C) 1993 Pyxis Productions
--------------------------------------
These programs require the ParNet or SerNet packages, available
separately.

There are some great utilities available for the Amiga which allow
parallel and serial connections between two machines.  This allows
files to be transferred effortlessly, and programs on either
hard-drive to be shared.

If you have both machines in the same room, possibly operated by the
same person, talking back and forth isn't a problem... But suppose you
had two rooms with a computer in each one of them, and you didn't want
to yell stuff across to the other room... Thus NetUtilities was born.


What's In the Package:
----------------------

Inform - This is the background message server.  This always hangs
around and checks for stuff coming from the other machine, and calls
the appropriate command when it is sent.  Inform will flash the other
computer's screen when you try run "Send".

Send - A small CLI program which you can run to open a chat-send
window on your machine.  Just type into it as you would into a CLI
window.  When you press RETURN at the end of each line, it will be
sent to the other machine.

Receive - Another small program which opens a chat-receive window on
your screen.

NetCmd - This allows you to execute a command on the other person's
computer.  Say for instance you have a reboot command on the remote
machine... If you executed it from your computer, it would load the
code to your machine and reboot your machine.  With "NetCmd", the
"Inform" program will sense the command coming over the network, and
execute it on the receiving machine, so in this case the remote
machine would execute reboot and reboot the remote machine.

Reboot  - Executes a warm reset.  Handy with NetCmd.
