Hey, in case noone's noticed, there is pretty close to no documentation at all for this. No comments, no help, no nothing other than one quickly thrown together webpage about how an end user would use this program.
The problem is that I have no time to document it. I was working under a heavy deadline, and now I have to devote myself to other projects full time. I decided that I would rather release all of my code so that others could play with it than have it sit on my disk doing nothing seeing as it is very functional in my oppinion.
I'm sorry because I know this will inconvinience people, and not allow my program to do as much good as it would otherwise, but that's life. If anyone wants to help document it, I will be more than happy to collaborate with them. This is not a complicated program, and documentation should not be all that difficult.
Here's my hint: compile everything with javac, run the server via `java EBServ [port]` where port will default to 1981 if nothing is entered for it. Remember that you need to be root if you want to bind to a port lower than 1024 on UNIX machines.
Create a subdirectory to the server code called data for the contact lists to be stored in.
For the applet, the host address and port may be passed to it in the applet tag. See my working example to see how to do this.
Like I said, sorry for inconvience, and if anyone would like to basically completely take this project out of my hands, email me.
