Archive-name: tinyfugue/19-Sep-90 Original-posting-by: ghudson@cie.uoregon.edu (Greg Hudson) Original-subject: TinyFugue 1.1.4 released to anonymous FTP Archive-site: belch.berkeley.edu [128.32.152.202] Archive-directory: /pub/mud_misc Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) TinyFugue 1.1.4 has been released to belch.berkeley.edu (128.32.152.202) at pub/mud_misc/TinyFugue.tar.Z and valkyrie.ecn.uoknor.edu (129.15.22.6) at (until it's moved to wherever clients go) /pub/uploads/TinyFugue.tar.Z. The docs mention the InterNet MUD list which recently changed address, at the old address. My mistake. If I ever re-release, the docs will hopefully be corrected in that regard. TinyFugue is, I believe, the most advanced TinyClient to date, incorporating most of the features of TinyWar 1.2.3, the features of GrimJim's TT 1.1.jwl-2 beta, many of my own enhancements (such as extensive reentrance, trigger priority, and trigger probability), and input/output windows. The last is not an option; it will work with or without the cs (set scroll area) termcap capability (VT-100 and most ANSI emulations have it; VT-52 and Televideo do not), but without that capability, text scrolls like in the IRC client (i.e. wrapping bottom to top, clearing two lines ahead). I personally think that's fine, and, even with ANSI's 6-8 char cursor goto sequences, quite fast enough to keep up with MUDs at 2400 baud; with Televideo's 3 char sequences, it should be able to keep up even at 1200 baud. In any case, some people don't like it; keep in mind that in Fugue, it's not an option. In VaporTalk 1.0, which has no scheduled release date and which I make no promises on (although I've completed the output module for it), it will be an option. Rather, if you don't have an input window and have only one output window, it should work just like Tinytalk does. (VaporTalk should be able to handle any arbitrary number of sessions and any possibly smaller or greater of output windows.)
