GeNewIc MUD Client for Winsock, version 1.0Beta
(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 :

* ANSI color now supported. (not vt100 or ansi cursor positioning).

* Active hosts window,which allows you to see which hosts you are connected to, and 	
  which have new activity since you last viewed that window (indicated by an
  asterisk next to the host name). You may also switch between them by clicking on 
  the hosts.

* 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.
