asked on

Name of an old Windows 3.1 application

What is the name of the old Windows 3.1 application that allowed you to do peer to peer chat with someone on your local network?  Similar to Net Send but it was a GWI app.  It reminded me of Unix's Write.  I believe the executable for the program was located in the system32 directory on Windows 95.  Any Ideas.

Thanks

WinChat is the program I was looking for.  Thanks for everyone's help.
I am using Windows XP and WinChat is installed on my computer in the Windows\System32 folder.
The WinChat in XP is v5.1.2600;  the Windows for Workgroups version is v3.11.0.399.

Both are compact little applications that make it simple to "chat" across a Windows network.
