Requires:
The latest stable release of SDL 1.2, and GUIlib for the example program

Runs on:
All platforms supported by SDL

Description:
This is a small sample cross-platform networking library, with a sample chat client and server application. The chat client uses the GUIlib GUI framework library.

Instructions:
Unpack and build. Run "chatd" to start the server, and clients can chat with each other by running "chat host", where host is the hostname of the system running the server.
