Foremost I would like to apologize in advance if this is not of sound
content to be asking on this newsgroup. I am new to this group, and Usenet
in general and I hope that you wouldn't mind helping me address this
question.

I am sure most, if not all, of you are familiar with WinPopup. Now, my
question is, whether or not it is possible to use the same concept with only
a single client sending the message. That is, if you have the program on one
computer, can you use that to create a message box on all the other
computers with a message without those computers having that program
installed to receive the message? If so, how could one go about achieving
this result. Any input would be greatly appreciated and I would like to
thank you all in advance.the

The methord used will not work as ther has to be a "server" program
installed in order for it to receve it.

There is always net send which is installed by default on most NT and
2k boxes AFAIK
To find out about the command run the shell (cmd.exe) and type
net send /?
