Many of these tools are written by me. Some others are historical tools written by others, more famous developers from the Golden Age of NJE. The main programs are RELAY CHAT, TRICKLE, LOOKUP, LISTSERV, ELIZA. XYZZY is a chat client in REXX for VM/SP and z/VM. And QBIT, QUSER, MTRAP, YWAKEUP, NSCAN, IUCVTRAP, SUPERMSG, CLRSCRN, XYZIUCV are tools to ether trap NJE messages or to handle them. RELAY CHAT Implementation(s) There is one version for z/VM and one for older VM versions (like VM/SP r5). You can find it here: https://github.com/moshix/BITNETServices/blob/master/RELAYVMSP.EXEC The version for newer VM/SP, VM/ESA and z/VM is here: https://github.com/moshix/BITNETServices/blob/master/relay.rexx It's a re-implementation by me, from scratch, of the very famous RELAY chat written by Jeff Kell (RIP) of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1985 using the REXX programming language. Before BITNET Relay was implemented, any form of communication over BITNET required identifying the remote user and host. Relay ran on a special ID using several BITNET hosts. To use it, a message was sent to a user ID called RELAY. The Relay program running on that user ID would then provide multi-user chat functions, primarily in the form of \"channels\" (chat rooms).
