Goofey is a program which provides many services by communicating
|
|
with a central server Pluto. Services provided by goofey include
|
|
remote user location, message sending, fortune provision, jargon
|
|
file lookup and a timetable service.
|
|
|
|
Goofey is the preferred mode of communciation of many people, as
|
|
it combines the immediacy of talk(1) and the asynchronous nature of
|
|
mail(1). That is, you will know if messages sent with goofey have
|
|
been received by the recipient almost immediately. Goofey also
|
|
provides facilities for users to supply finger type information, an
|
|
'away' message for when you are away, a 'quiet' message for when
|
|
you are busy or away from the terminal. In fact, just about everything
|
|
that people have been able to put up a good case for is included in
|
|
the server.
