Sent is a small console utility intended for sending "net send" messages within local area networks using command line.
Like winsent, the Sent utility allows to send short text messages using computer network name, user login, nickname. Sends broadcast messages using workgroup or domain name. Sent is capable to send message at once to several recipients.
This utility can be used:
* as a "net send" command replacement in Windows versions, that have no such command (Vista, 98, 95)
* when the Messenger Service is off (you are using WinSent, for example)
* just as an improved "net send" command with additional features.
For message Transmission the Sent uses full implementation of the protocol, that is used for message exchange by software products like Microsoft WinPopup, Windows NT Messenger Service (net send command), etc. Therefore the Sent is fully compatible with it.
Sent can send messages only and can't receive the messages. To receive the message sent with Sent you can use one of the following software products: WinSent, Windows NT Messenger Service (net send), Microsoft Winpopup.
Sent works with any versions of Windows (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista) including Windows Vista, where Messenger Service and net send command are missing.
