ntalk new talk <chat> ("new talk") An update of the {Unix} "{talk}" program, old versions of "talk" being referred to as "old talk". New talk and old talk are generally incompatible, and attempts to get them to communicate result in entirely unhelpful error messages. On most modern {Unix} systems, the program "talk" is new talk, with some {SunOS} versions being a notable and annoying exception to this. (1997-09-11)
