well, I failed to get the randylaptop sapi stuff running properly when I tried so I'm actually vaguely interested in this one.

on the other hand though, Hal version 9 (which my upgrade Cd should be coming from dolphin any day now), has finally! got the ability to use script files written in lua, ---- apparently even jfw and window eyes script files will be quickly adaptable, so the possibility would exit to make monkey term or whatever run very rpoperly with Hal.

It's actually possible to do it now with the virtual focus, it's just that by the time I've located changes in status or new actions at the bottom of the screen, lots of time has passed, thus making it not practical for playing a mud with the required speed.

I will say though that it's nice to know gma are stil around and working, I was begining to count them out and think they could be going the same way as bsc and bavisoft.

It was indeed monkeyterm I tried and not mushclient, to be honest I thought mush client was a general term for a type of program, ie, a client for playing muds and mush and sutch, not the name of a specific program.

I'm fairly certain scripting will happen with Hal. As I said, the main pest at the moment is that things don't auto read, I have to go and find new info with the vf, the same way I do when playing interactive fiction. I'm fairly certain this would be doable if what dolphin told me over the phone about script files turns out to be true.

I should probably try mushclient, but I'll wait until i get Hal 9 installed properly first.

Personally, I would not pay for a MUD cliant and hope that they work on  more games. Now if this cliant is free, then I might use it.

we will have to see what they come up with. well randylaptop's home page is sort of dead so can anyone give me the direct link to the mushclient part?
