Heya!

I was wondering if there is a way to share a text window or similar over LAN. We're a group of four that want to quickly share information regarding situations and it's not really optimal to use an IM or groupchat, is it possible to create a sort of server/client-based solution where we can add text to a single window that is viewable by all of us?

Thank you!

I would write the text to a text file all computers can access.
Then a script has to be run on all computers which shows the text of this text file in a message box.

FileAppend to the text-file the text.
Then FileRead from all computers from this text-file and show a message-box.
Search the help-file and the forum for examples.
Just try it yourself, show your code and we will show you what you could do better. But I wont write the whole code for you.
