140928 2003-05-03 04:52:00 Hi I'm new to this network game and have a need to send messages on a small network using Win98 and Win Xp computers, are there programs already on these machines to do this job.
Thanks.

On the Win 98 computer you need to start up Winpopup:
Start > Run > type winpopup type out your message and send it to the name of the computer on your network .

For the Win XP computer go to Start > Run > type net send [computer name] [message] then press enter . Alternatively, send from a command box .
