You want the power and convenience of instant messaging, but don´t need or want the clients to talk to the outside world. Be it a bunch of friends having a LAN party, or a large corporation - instant messaging makes working together easy. Unfortunately, existing instant messengers allow users to communicate with the entire planet, not just your local network.

Tonic changes this. With Tonic, you get all of the convenience, versatility and power of instant messaging, with none of the interference. Ideal for the smallest home network to the largest corporation.

Tonic features the ability to have icons that can represent your feeling, mood, or character. You can use any of the hundreds of included icons or create your own, which will be automatically sent to other users on the network.

What's New in version 1.0.1027:

• Allowed Tonic to run from a Limited profile by storing all History, Images, etc in the relevant user directory instead of Program Files
• Add User Status Text to message window for Away, Busy, Offline, etc
• Fix crash when using 'Send message to user' from tray icon
