MUSCLE
MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking Environment) is an N-way messaging server and networking API. It includes client-side networking APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, and Python. MUSCLE lets programs communicate over a network via streams of serialized Message objects. The included server program ("muscled") lets its clients message each other and store information in its server-side hierarchical database. The database supports flexible queries via hierarchical wildcarding, and "live" updates via a subscription mechanism.

You need to add QueryFilter.o and ByteBuffer.o to the Makefile to get it to compile with latest MUSCLE's.
Re: Rudimentary BeShare-compatible command line chat client available
New version of Clyde is v1.04. It's
been tweaked to compile with MUSCLE v1.30+.
Confusing name
The name of this project is rather confusing. MUSCLE is already the name of the de-facto standard smartcard environment for Linux. (Google for "muscle linux" and you'll see what I mean.)
Re: Rudimentary BeShare-compatible command line chat client available
Clyde 1.01 is
here. It fixes a nasty crashing bug and adds a few minor features.
