What's New with MUTT(tm) - November 7, 1995

What's New with MUTT(tm) - October 24, 1995

1. Fixed a problem involving Compuserve/Spry/Twinsock winsocks.

2. Fixed "break"; it now disables triggers.

3. Fixed "findstr" and "equstr"; they now work when both parameters are variables.

4. Removed size limit from "send".

5. Added Win3.x multi-threaded support to allow outgoing commands while receiving incoming spams.

6. Improved Cut&Paste handling from the display window. <ctrl-v> pastes selected text to commandline; <ctrl-x> replaces commandline -- <ctrl-c> is not required for pasting from display to commandline.

7. Added a "pause" mode that temporarily prevents the display window from scrolling while it has focus. You can toggle this on and off via <ctrl-s>. A green bar indicates pause is off; red indicates that pause is on.

8. Added a ";beep( number )" command which can be used to play sounds. If the number is positive, it plays a standard Windows sound; if negative, it beeps that many times. If you have a sound card, 16=STOP, 32=QUESTION, 48=EXCLAMATION and 64=ASTERISK.

9. Added an "exec" command that runs programs or launches registered documents (.BMP, .WAV, .AVI, etc.). Usage: exec( "notepad", "c:\autoexec.bat" ); or just exec( "zing.wav" ); if .WAV is associated with a player. I recommend getting the latest WPLANY to play .WAV files: ftp://ftp.graphcomp.com/pub/msw/inet/players/wplnt12a.zip Lite now comes with some sample .WAV files.

10. Changed "log" so that you can have a separate log file for each session. This is independent of the Open/Close Log menu option - which opens a single log for all sessions.

11. Added command line options for setting startup host:port & script info.

12. Provided a few sample .WAV files.

Etienne released MUTT(tm) Compagnion Version 6 which supports the above 0.1K changes.

It provides enhanced macro aliasing by subclassing Lite's edit window!

I highly recommend this addon.

I've blown my schedule completely. I have been completely swamped at work and haven't been able to touch MUTT in a while - there's no way that Live or Elite will make it for Win95's retail release.

I apologize to those who have been so patiently waiting, and I appreciate all the encouraging email that you keep sending.

Live and Elite haven't died, they'll just have to wait until I get caught up at work.

Thanks, again, for all your support! - Bob Free

Added a Bug Report form.

This should correct connect problems with other newer Winsocks that prevent Lite from connecting as the first Winsock app.

Note: this release is identical to 01j, except for the change mentioned above - if you do not have the above connect problem, there is no need to get this release. Please do not distribute this beta copy - it is not supported.

Please email muttbugs@graphcomp.com for any problems you notice in this beta.

Kynn Bartlett is a heavy-duty tf and TinyMUSH user, and has done a great job of creating Tiny-friendly add-ons for MUTT(tm).

TF2MUTT is a perl script that converts TinyFugue world definitions to MUTT.INI character entries.

TINYMUTT is a MUTTER(tm) script customized for TinyMUSH users.

Live has been in various states of alpha since the beginning of the year. Here are some of the features that have already been added/tested:

• Configuration dialogs - fonts, colors, various UI settings.
• Connection diagnostics.
• Command history.
• ANSI color.
• Faster display, particularly for non-standard "newline" muds.
• Sessions saved/recalled by mud/character name.
• Script files saved on a per-mud and a per-character basis.

A lot of people have asked me how much I'll be charging for Live. I haven't decided yet - it depends on how many features make it into the release, and how much support I'll be providing.

I have just received a merchant account allowing me to accept visa and mastercard charges. I intend to take orders via a secure (SSL/HTTPS) web server. For those of you do not have a compatible client, I will also accept PGP encoded orders and orders by mail. Order forms will be made available when Live is ready for release.

I have also set up a deal with a major Winsock vendor, who will be bundling Live with their Internet client/server suite.

I hope to upgrade my Internet connection from 28k to 128k ISDN by the end of the month. This should make it easier to access MUTT's online help and order forms.
