What
is it?NetPOPUP is an easy to use real time communication tool for TCP/IP based networks. It uses peer to peer communication instead of the typical Client/Server based store and forward methods currently used in applications such as E-Mails. It was conceived after experiencing the limitations of Microsoft’s WinPOPUP utility on our hostel LAN. WinPOPUP had the nasty habit of crashing the whole Windows environment (being a 16 bit application) when it could not successfully locate a host on the LAN or if there was some sort of an error during transmission (which was very often since our LAN was holding up on scotch tape and chewing gum!). It had another serious limitation of not showing whether the message was actually delivered to the remote host (no acknowledgement). These and other shortcomings prompted one of my friends to bug me into making a better utility. So NetPOPUP was born more out of necessity then as an off the record project.
Who
is it for?
Anyone who
works on LANs (Local Area Networks), which is just about
everyone these days, would have an immediate benefit in
productivity by using this program. Can be used to
rapidly communicate messages to other users. Faster then
email because no intermediate store and forward servers
involved. Use it in:
- Computer Labs.
- Networked Dorm rooms.
- Work places.
- Anywhere where there is a bunch of wired up computers.
I've
heard this name before!
Yes you have,
there is another similar program out with the same name
by another author, but then I had the program out two
years ago, just that i never bothered releasing it on the
internet. We just used it on our campus and in our
dorms... so i am not bothering to change the name. Call
it Techno's Popup for all i care.
