10/6/1992 TINTIN III
TINTIN III is a mud client special designed to help
dikumudders. It runs under various UNIX implementations.
This third release of TINTIN contains a bunch of new
features, which I hope you'll enjoy. I know that there're
many TINTINIII beta versions around. I'd advice the people
running these, to get a copy of the final release of
TINTIN-III, coz the various BETA versions are pretty buggy.
BTW thanks to the beta testers for their great support.
People used to TINTIN v2.0 shouldn't have too many trouble
with this version. But do notice anyway, that there has been
a bunch of syntax changes:
THE V2.0 COMMANDFILES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS V3.0!!!!!!!
TINTIN and the future
This was the last time I'll release a totally rewritten TINTIN
code. Although new versions of TINTIN might occure, they'll
be of the format ver.3.x, and will only be released if new
bugs are found and/or portability problems with this version
can be fixed. People are invited to release clones of TINTIN
if they feel they've added something neat. If you release an
extended version of TINTIN, THEN MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR
NAME IN THE TITLE-TEXT! This way I hope we can avoid nasty
parallel-versions. I might code a tintin with a X-windows
interface tho.
TINTIN and bugs
Well I might have left a bug or two around, but nothing fatal
I hope. Should you find any bugs(and debug'em too *HURRAY*)
then please lemmie know..
TINTIN and portability
TINTIN v3.0 has succesfully been compiled and run under these
UNIX-implementations:
SunOS
HPUX
Sequent
AIX
DEC ULTRIX
VAX with ULTRIX 4.1
NeXT
and some more....
If you have trouble with compiling under your system, and you
know how to fix it, then please gimmie a mail.
Makefile for TINTIN III
I'm using GNU's gcc compiler. The most important is that the
compiler is ANSI-compatible. If gcc isn't installed on your
system, then try change the 'gcc' below to 'cc' If CC = gcc
Some people's ANSI-compiler somehow don't have the full
ANSI-defined standard-library. Uncomment the lines below
if your compiler don't have 'strstr' F1 = -DDUNNO_strstr
If you recive lots of error from the 'echo.c' file, then try
to uncomment the next line: F2 = -DDO_TERMIO
Somehow people using Sun and gcc have to redefine the values
for the macros TIOCGETP and TIOCSETP. This is really dirty
coding and shouldn't be nercessary(but it is sometime).

(hell I simply wanted it to be called TINTIN....)
This client is more or less a byproduct from a robot-player
prog I'm coding at the moment. This means that the prog. don't
has the same amount of features that progs like PMF and
tinymugys have(weird features that you don't use anyway...).
The prog has however some features special designed to diku-mud
that might make it interesting for you. The prog is UNIX only..
