Challenge #11 - Chat Console (Networking)

     Since last weekend turned out to be Networking Weekend (See Blog(members only)), then how could I resist setting a related networking challenge.    So without further a due, your challenge is to create a chat window.  The window should allow two (or more) networked computer users to talk.

     Appearance wise the example should include a scrolling window &  text input.  Of course if you're adventurous you could implement some more advanced text parsing to support smiley's, async file transfers and perhaps full gui..   But... I think making a simple chat program is more than enough for starters.   :)

     You can use either MultiSync  or  K-NetLIb.
