- GeNewIc MUD Client for Winsock, version 0.8alpha
- (C) 1995, GNI and Daniel Lee Kelly II , All rights reserved.
-
- GeNewIc Mud Client for Winsock is designed to facilitate interaction with a MUD
- server, and can be used in place of the standard telnet command.
-
- This program requires Windows 3.1 with Win32s 1.2 or later or Windows NT or
- Windows 95, and Winsock to run.
-
- The major benifits of using this program over telnet are:
-
- * Separate input and output windows, avoiding the most annoying aspect of using
- telnet, in which the incoming text is interspersed with the outgoing text.
-
- * Multiple hosts in different windows active simultaniously, allowing you to
- "lurk"on several hosts at the same time.
-
- * Easy to use, remembers mud host names, ports, and optionally passwords, and
- other logon text.
-
- * Scroll back buffer, eliminating the need for page pausing on the mud server
- side.
-
- * Simple Triggers that support sound events, allowing you to wait for your
- favorite person to log on, and be notified by sound, eliminating the need to
- watch over the computer screen.
-
- * Macros, and a dockable/floating macro bar.
-
-
- Other notable features include :
-
- * Fully asynchronous sockets programming model, never locking up your computer
- while waiting for a network event to occur.
-
- * User selectable fonts. ( Courier or other non-proportional fonts only to
- allow for proper positioning of online ascii art.)
-
- * Several word wrapping options including 80 columns / window size, and
- character / word wrapping.
-
- * Floating / dockable toolbar allowing easy access to common commands.
-
- * C++ / Win32 programming model for added robustness.
-
- * User selectable colors foreground / background
-
- Setup of GMUD is fairly easy, copy the program, and data file to a directory,
- and add to a program group (or in Win95, preferrably set it on the desktop :).
- Then start your winsock service, then run GMUD.
