  YTalk
  
     Version: V3.0 Patch Level 1.
  
     <networking, tool> A multi-user chat program by Britt Yenne
     <yenne@austin.eds.com>.  YTalk works almost exactly like the
     standard Unix talk program and even communicates with the
     same talk daemon(s), but YTalk supports multiple
     connections.
  
     Multiple user names may be given as command-line arguments, in
     the form "name#tty@host" where the optional "#tty" specifies a
     particular tty.
  
     YTalk is able to communicate with both existing versions of
     Unix talk daemons.  Once connected, typing escape gives
     access to a menu of commands to add or delete users, trace
     to a file, or set options.  If run under the X Window System
     , YTalk will use separate X windows for each user in
     the conversaton, otherwise it will split the terminal screen
     between them.
