ChatServer

This is a server that implements the backend for a chat server. Clients can connect and join/leave multiple chatrooms, sending messages to all clients subscribed to that chatroom.

##Compile and Run:

1. git clone https://github.com/ghodgins/ChatServer.git
2. cd src/
3. ghc Main.hs
4. ./Main

##Telnet clients to test: As standard the program runs on port 44444 so the following command can be used:

• telnet localhost 44444

The following commands can then be used in the telnet session (do each number for each client then move onto the next step).
