Intranet Communication

[nutts4cracker]

Hi,
There is no such utility as WinPopUp in Windows XP. The
best is to get any Lan Messenger which will work in
windows 98 and windows xp. The reason is that Windows 98
and Windows XP are total different Operating systems
working on totally different Enviornments. Its just like
an English man and a Chinese man. Both are Windows but
are totally different from the root.

Wishes,
