bleh..i don't care about linux..and i own you in mud ray..what you talkin bout?

if you install cygwin you can compile and execute this program in a terminal window in windows 2k, i would assume.



but its much easier to telnet to a linux box, and install the program remotely



the source is at www.sourceforge.net/gqmud



you can download the tarball version from a week ago, but we are adding stuff daily, so the CVS repository is the best way to get updates



as i understand it some people would like a terminal based majormud client but would like it to run in win32? ill look into that.. aside from the terminal library and signal handlers it should be fully portable



benifits to running the software from a remote machine include running multiple characters stealthily (from different ips) and of course it's OS independant.



i will be running a shell server when we release beta which our testers (anyone who uses the CVS repository) who have a registered account on our test machine will be able to use to run the program. im estimating at 256M ram we should be able to host at least 40 simultaneous logins all running one copy of the application, perhaps more as we optimize

make that www.sourceforge.net/projects/gqmud

I use linux. in fact, out of all my machines not a single one of them runs windows. even my laptop runs *nix. Hey Chris, if you need any help as far as beta testing goes for that project, pm me. I'm definetly interested. I'm tired of running wine for megamud. wine is a piece of SHIT.

Yeah, you run linux..but most mudders, 9 out of 10, don't.



These programs suck for us..sigh.

DOH! I can't even install the latest release because i only run linux on my laptop. i run freebsd on everything else. If you want chris, i can work on the freebsd port. i've done several packages that are included int he ports system with freebsd. hit me up!
