For ages now I've been wanting some kind of tool to see who is on HECnet, instead of spending ages PHONE DIRing to see if someone is logged into one of their multiple nodes.

Thus I created HIM - at first it was simply meant to be a way to register your logged in node and user name using a "nick" (nickname - one VMS user can have many nicks, and more than one VMS user can use the same nick).

Anyway, I realised pretty quickly that it'd be pretty simple to add a basic messaging service to the system as well - which explains the name :)
