Some Things You Should Know
- This application runs on 32-bit systems only (i.e., Windows 95 or NT).
- To post a message in a room, type the message and hit the Send Message button (or press
Return in the message text field).
- To send a private message (one that only the intended recipient can read), click their
name in the Who's In The Room list (this enables the Private Message button). Type the
message as usual and then hit the Private Message button.
- To change rooms, enter a room number (0 to 999) in the Room field (in the bottom right
corner) and hit the Move To New Room button. Alternatively, you can enter special rooms by
choosing one of those displayed in the Themed Rooms menu.
- Rooms 500-999 can be locked to prevent others from seeing your conversation. Hit the
Lock Room button to do this. A Room Status of "Public" means that the room
cannot be locked.
- Spaniel Chat stores the last 500 messages entered for the entire system. Whenever you
enter a room, a maximum of the last ten messages for the room are displayed. Messages sent
while the room is locked are not recorded. Once you leave a locked room, you will not be
able to see the messages there again.
- To find out where other users are, hit the Find People In Other Rooms button. This tells
you the location of all users except those in locked rooms.
Happy Chatting!
