 # chat.pl: chat with a server

+# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
+# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
+#
+# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
+# programming techniques.
+#
+# Suggested alternative: Socket
+#
 # Based on: V2.01.alpha.7 91/06/16
