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..
