Hi!
Well I guess I can help u on that.
Well U need to tell me if u want it to be crossplatform or not.. i.e win based?
the Concept is simple. U need a Server that keeps pooling for connections from clients and maintains a hashtable with the clients username and outputstreams.
The Server only forwards the message from the source to destination..
the idea is quite simple.
client - message to client 1-> server - writes to the outputstream of client1 -> client1 receives the message.
I hope that concept is clear to ya if not please lemme know I will mail you an arch diagram for the same.
