MRCERI NET SEND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Just click on any of the questions below to read the answers.

How do I send messages?

1) First you need to know the machine name, username or IP address of the user you wish to send your message to. If that doesn't make much sense just use the person's Windows login name (e.g. jSmith). Type this into the "To:" box.

2) Next type your message into the message box (you can use the "Clear" button to delete any old messages).

3) Hit the "Send" button - that's it!

A little console (DOS) window will pop up when you hit send - this will disappear when the recipient has read your message.

How does MrCeri Net Send work?

MrCeri Net Send works by acting as a graphical interface to the DOS "net send" command. The advantages of this are that MrCeri Net Send stores the alias of the last person you messaged, allows for easier cutting and pasting, and is generally easier to use than having to fire up a DOS command prompt every time you want to send a message.

If you don't want to use my program you can still access the net send functionality by calling the DOS net send command from a command prompt, e.g.:

C:\>net send JSmith "Alright John!"

What operating systems will MrCeri Net Send work on?

MrCeri Net Send will only work on Microsoft Windows NT, 2000 or XP. The chances are that if you are in work you will be using one of these operating systems.

Will MrCeri Net Send work on my Apple Mac computer?

No, I'm afraid the current version only works on Microsoft Windows (NT/2000/XP).

MrCeri Net Send never gets installed on your PC. To remove it, simply delete the MrCeriNet Send.exe file.
