Does Windows require any additional software to run this program, or can any stock Win2k,WinXP,WinMe install do it?

I'm not sure about Windows ME/98 (in fact I doubt they have 'at'), but the NT family of releases NT4, 2K, XP all have the 'net' command and the 'at' scheduler out of the box.

I have an XP box at work, I'll try your code on it I am curious how WinPopUps work.

The best way to see them in action (I'm not confident my code works 100% yet), is to go...

Start->Run
Cmd.exe (command prompt)
hostname (print your hostname)
net send <type your hostname> hello world, this is my message. (send a message to yourself)

It should work between WindowsNT based and Samba equip computers too, YMMV though, I'm not an expert in how it has to be set up for it to work, I just know that it's there Grin

...

To give you an example (of how little I know about it Wink

), I have one machine (all of our boxes run Win2K) at work that I can net send messages from, but can't receive them (I think it can't recieve them because it is not part of the same domain, but I have no idea if that's the real reason).... But that's ok, cause it's the server anyway, so it doesn't need to recieve... just dish out.
