Well, Win9x has the winpop for network communications and I've set up a
little script here that does communicate with win9x here:-) Another
script (Samba wouldn't handle the read message command due to property
problems with the temp file, so I created a little script that would
handle that problem as well.... (I called that one "ReadPop") The one
that Writes to the Win machine is called "winpop":-)
I've attached both scripts, hope they help:-)
