Party is a real-time chat program for Unix systems. It simulates a party
|
||
|
|
line, where any number of users can talk at the same time - if you type a
|
||
|
|
line of text, everyone else sees it immediately.

Chat programs are pretty common these days. Party wasn't the first, but it
|
||
|
|
was an early one. It's antiquity is reflected in the fact that it doesn't
|
||
|
|
support networked systems especially well, nor have a web
|
||
|
|
interface. However, its maturity is reflected in the fact that it has a
|
||
|
|
clean and simple interface, and a good set of well-integrated features
|
||
|
|
that make it easy for first-timers to get into. It remains very popular to
|
||
|
|
this day on several systems.
