I have written a simple 'talk' program using socket library which is a C
routine library.   I developed it on an unix machine.   The program include 
a server and a client module.  Client first register itself on the server on
some special topic.  Then the client can communicate with all the clients
registered on the same topic.  If you are interested, send me an email at
