Description:
------------
	Xhtalk looks every 4 (default) minutes at several hosts
	for specified users, logged on console. All
	found users are displayed in the xhtalk- win-
	dow.	
	By clicking on a username, an x-based talk (xhchat)
	or the sytem-talk or a user-defined command
	can be chosen.
	
	Run xhtalk during your session in the background,
	so you can see, if the specified users logg in
	or out.
	
	Xhtalk now directly uses the finger protocol.
	The finger function is called in as a several
	process in the background.
	
------------------------------------------------------
Files:
------ Xhtalk needs a file in the users home-
       directory named ".xhtalk". This file
       specifies the hosts and the users to look for.
       See manpage for more details.

------------------------------------------------------
Options:
--------
	-> manpage.

------------------------------------------------------
Syntax of .xhtalk:
------------------
       .xhtalk  : hostlist namelist
       hostlist : 'host' '{' "host1" ',' "host2" ',' .... '}'
       namelist : 'name' '{' "name1" ',' "name2" ',' .... '}'

------------------------------------------------------
example:
--------       host { "snoopy" ,
                      "charlie" ,
               }

               name { "banane" ,
                      "userx"
               }

See the file SAMPLE.xhtalk

------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
----------------------
	       If you have the xpm-library,
	       (x-pixmap-library)
	       uncomment the corresponding lines in the
	       Imakefiles:

                   #    XPM_DEFINE = -DHAS_XPM
                   #       XPM_LIB = -lXpm

	       Type 'xmkmf -a' (or xmkmf;
                                make depend)
               and then 'make'.

               (Install software + manpage  with
	       'make install' and
               'make install.man' ).

               Create a '.xhtalk' file and put it
               into your $HOME - directory or define
	       another config file by the commandline
	       option -f (see manpage).

----------------------------------
>>> PROBLEM with window resize !!!
----------------------------------

if xhtalk does not resize its toplevel window correctly,
comment out the following line in the Imakefile:

STD_DEFINES = -DCORRECT_SHELL_HEIGHT

and redo the installation.

------------------------------------------------------
Bugs: 
----- 
      The height of the toplevelshell may be not
      correct. (olwm?)

------------------------------------------------------
Would be nice if you send ideas/bugs to:
