I'm not sure what you mean by "lots of problems with it", but
it is being used by a variety of groups in a number of companies,
and it works for what it was designed for. Basically ToolTalk
provides an API for designing messages and patterns, and then
sending and receiving messages based on what patterns a given
program supports. You may scope messages and patterns to a given
file on a specific system, or a ToolTalk session, or a file in
a session, or both a specific file and a specific session.
If you could post more on your application specifics you might
get further input.
