Developer’s Description

By Christian Ihle
Deploy a chat client for local area networks without the use of a server.
KouChat is a simple chat application which does not require any configuration or server to use. With KouChat it's possible to see other users on the network, send files, send messages to the main chat which all users can see, or to a single user. New messages will be notified by an icon in the system tray, and optionally by a sound.

New in this version: Default user name is now the currently logged in user in Windows when no settings are found.Added missing commands for file transfer in console mode.
