	Before everyone starts another round of me-too and the like,
	let me point out that there are TWO different talk-like
	programs written just for System V sitting in the mod.sources
	archives.  They are called sysVtalkA and sysVtalkB.  One
	uses named pipes (FIFOs) and the other uses message passing.
	Even if you don't want 'talk', these programs are rather
	good examples of using these facilities under System V.
	These programs do NOT work over networks, but then if you
	had networks, you probibly have BSD... :-)
