PCWinSoft Chat

Nowadays, keeping in touch with your online friends can be easily achieved, since there is a wide variety of solutions that can help you in that direction.
However, sometimes you might need a private chatroom so that you can communicate without any interference from other users. In this case, PCWinSoft Chat can help you by providing you with a simple way of creating a chat server and connecting to it.
Note that this application requires an Internet connection in order to run properly.

Portable lightweight application that comes with a plain user interface

Since this is a portable utility, you do not need to install it on your computer and it does not create any additional files or folders nor does it tamper with your Windows registry entries. It comes with a simple, visually unappealing user interface that integrates basic controls.
On the downside, the server component features a “New Client” button that does not yield any feedback upon attempting to operate it.

Run the server utility by creating a shortcut and specifying a port number in the Target field

Unfortunately, launching the server component of the application cannot be achieved in an intuitive manner, as you need to follow a few steps specified in the enclosed text document.
In order to successfully run the server, you need to create a shortcut and specify a valid port number by typing it at the end of the Target field, in its Properties window.

Connect to the chatroom and communicate with other users

After you create a server, you can connect to it by specifying a valid IP address and a port number. It is possible to chat with other online users by typing your message in the corresponding field and hitting the Enter key on your keyboard. The chat window interface is plain and does not pack additional features, such as a contacts list or emoticon support.
To wrap it up, PCWinSoft Chat is a simple chat application that allows you to host chatrooms on your computer and connect to them. However, note that creating a server can be quite challenging for a novice and the chat window has a plain interface and comes with no extra features.
