	We have a user program on chinet called "watch"  It was 
	originaly written by someone at m-net in Ann Arbor for
	a XENIX system.  I modified it for SysV.  It runs in the
	background and gives:
	in: user
	out: user
	It takes options to only look at a list of people, turn on/off
	the bell when a in: or out: happens, and will monitor the 
	activity on a file, in our case /usr/bbs/.party, which is
	a multiuser party program.  Source is available.
