Mmucl is a mud client written in the scripting language Tcl/Tk.
Mmucl requires version 4.2 or better of Tk. A version of Tk that
understands the new font format will make configuration easier however.
The latest Tcl/Tk releases can be found at ftp://ftp.sunlabs.com/pub/tcl

INFORMATION ABOUT MMUCL
-----------------------
	Mmucl comes with two different graphical interfaces to the
core Mmucl library, Xmmucl and Winmmucl. Xmmucl is 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 higher.

	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. The sample mmucl.rc provides a number of examples.

FEATURES
--------
	-Regexp actions(triggers).
	-Sophisticated alias language(Tcl).

	-Portable, runs under any OS that runs Tcl/Tk.
