A friend and I have been using 'write' to communticate to each other,
its very handy but has a small annoyance (to us anyway) where you can
lose track for the thread when you look back over it. Anyway, below
is a tiny patch that helps to see who wrote what. We have found it
very helpful.

...\r\n",
            login, host, mytty, nows + 11);

!       while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdin) != NULL)
                wr_fputs(line);
  }
