I'm writing a program that monitors a network directory for incoming ftp
files. Is there a way to send messages to the users who need these file when
they arrive? Hopefully, I can do this without installing the monitoring app
itself on all their desktops.

That's what I may have to use, but I was hoping to find the api call for it
since the number of users may be large and the time frame small. A command
line call would have to load a command processor each time. I'm surprised
you didn't recommend doing it with a sql aggregate call.

SQL is not for messaging. We both knew that.

And if you were thinking about SQL servers, yeah, there are messages
over the network.
