It is often convenient to use electronic communication somewhat
lighter than electronic mail.  Sometimes even the use of the talk(1)
*) program seems like overkill.  We like to offer to user something
like UNIX **) command write(1) ***) except that it can also pass
messages through the network instead of the single host.  There have
been few programs offering this kind of service, but they have either
based on SUN-RPC protocol or used a strictly undocumented protocol.
This document describes a simple Remote Write Protocol (RWP) that
should have been documented at least 10 years ago.  But late is better
than never.  Version number of the RWP protocol in this document is
1.0.
