There has been a sudden rash of questions concerning Net Send. Heres a small example I have used around my network to communicate. It uses mailslots native to Windows to communicate. Usualy Mailslots are used for interproccess communication, but can also be used across a network. To use the mailslot, you open it up and write data to it, like a normal file. Once written the message is sent (but with no way of knowing whether it got there or not), the handle is closed.
This works on most varieties of Windows: 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP. To work on 9x/ME though, you must have WinPopup service enabled. This is not necessary for NT, 2000, or XP.
The Messenger Service must be enabled as well.
Hope everyone likes it. :)
