	A mud client written in Tcl/Tk

--------------------------------------------------

Mmucl is a mud client written in the scripting language Tcl/Tk
Mmucl requires version 4.2 or better of Tk to run. The latest Tcl/Tk
releases can be found at  ftp://ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl/

Mmucl can be found at http://gramercy.ios.com/~tmtr01/mmucl
and http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/contributed-software/

This is a beta release of Mmucl. It is completely functional, but I
want to get some feedback before a final release.

INFORMATION ABOUT MMUCL
-----------------------
	Mmucl comes with two different graphical interfaces, Xmmucl and
Winmmucl. Xmmucl is basically a floating tool bar that uses a console,
preferably a xterm, to display mud output. Winmmucl provides its own
window to display output in. 

	I wrote Mmucl to learn a little about Tcl/Tk and because
I couldn't find any unix mud clients with decent graphical user
interfaces. But because I wrote Mmucl in Tcl/Tk it runs mostly without
changes on any platform to which Tcl/Tk has been ported. Mmucl has
been verified to work under Linux, Windows 95, and Windows NT with Tk
version 4.2 or better.

	My intention in coding Mmucl was to combine the functionality
of unix mud clients with a nice graphical user interface. Provided you
learn Tcl/Tk which is a relatively simple process, Mmucl is infinitely
extendable. If Mmucl lacks a feature you want, you can add it
yourself. If you want a a pop up window to keep track of your hit
points, make one. Look at mmuclrc in the examples directory of the
Mmucl distrubution for an example of how to do it. 

FEATURES
