About Multi-Talk
================

Multi-Talk  (or MTalk for short) is a multi-user teleconference system
for  the  Amiga(tm)  series  of computers.  It can run on any bulletin
board  system  (BBS)  that supports standard input and output, or even
without a BBS.

The  reason why MTalk was created was because there was, until now, no
decent  conferencing  software  for  the  Amiga(tm) which provides the
features  and  flexibilities  of  MTalk.  Not to mention, there was no
conference  software that can almost run on any BBS.  MTalk's power is
unmatched in any other teleconference system.  Here is why:

(in no particular order)

o Unlimited users, channels, and independent conferences.
o Command line editing with command history.
o Transparent inter-BBS networking.
o BBS independence.
o Over 60 built-in commands, and external command doors configurable.
o ARexx port for external control.
o Text windows for simultaneous input/output.
o User to user private chats with text windows.
o Can be configured as a SysOp chat program.
o Command aliases for personalized commands.
o Variables for setting user environment.
o Task switching between host BBS and MTalk.
o ANSI color support.
o Command scripts, such as login and logout scripts.
o Action commands.
o Profanity filter.
o Channels may be private (by invitations only), user limited, and
  moderated.
o User may ignore other users.
o Private messages ("whispers")
o Message logging.
o Command output redirection.
o Pattern matching.
