Maarten Deprez <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: LAN message system
System name: message
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This package consists of two programs: send and receive. They are used to send 
and receive simple messages over a LAN (or other network) in UDP packets, so 
that broadcasting or multicasting is possible.

"send" sends a message to all ip addresses given on the command line. The 
message is read from stdin.
"receive" listens for incoming messages for the ip address of the computer it 
runs on, or for one of the multicast groups (given on the command line). When 
it receives a message, it runs a script, piping the message text to he stdin. 
That script should then takes some action, e.g. writing it on the console, or 
showing a message box.

These programs, and windows version, can be downloaded from 
http://deprez-aerts.dyndns.org/~maarten/ (look in the message and message-win32 
directories), when our home server is on (during the day in Belgium).
