This implementation of the Unix write program adds many nice features
|
|
while remaining close to the standard Unix program in spirit. It has been
|
|
heavily used on M-Net since 1985 and on Grex since 1991, as well as a few
|
|
other systems. It is a ground-up reimplementation using no proprietary
|
|
code. It's available under a Berkeley-style license (no charge, no
|
|
restriction on commercial use, just don't take my name off of it). The
|
|
current version is fairly portable.
|
|
|
|
Orville write was written for use on M-Net and Grex, both public access
|
|
unix systems in Ann Arbor. As such, many of the features are designed to
|
|
support a system featuring a delicate mix of novice users and hostile
|
|
pranksters, plus a lot of people who just want to talk. It's user
|
|
interface is pretty much identical to the normal write program, but it
|
|
offers many extensions and improvements.
