Tknwmsg 1.0 for NCPFS.

-- INTRO --
Tknwmesg is a extension for ncpfs for linux that allows users to recived messages
while under an X console.
Essentially it is an extension for nwmsg that comes with ncpfs. The only
changes are a system() call to a tk script that will run a dialog with an "ok"
button under X.
-- INSTALLATION --
TCL/TK must be installed on your system. If they are not then you will have to
get the source for their installation if you want to run tkmesg.
- Download ncpfs from sunsite.unc.edu
- Run "su" to become root if you are not already root.
- Unpack ncpfs in a temporary directory.
- copy the Tknwmsg nwmsg.c to util/nwmsg.c in your ncpfs directory.
- copy tknwmsg to /usr/bin
- change to your nwmsg directory.
- run "make all;make install" and the new version of tknwmsg will be
installed.
-- USE --
- At least 1 terminal on the local system must be have "mesg y". Else
no GUI dialog will be displayed.
Using mesg y in a .bashrc will not work. The only way that I have
found to do this is to have chmod a+w /dev/ttyp? in Xsession or
$HOME/.xsession. Also it may be necessary to have .bashrc do the
same thing if users are starting and stopping xterms.
