Introduction


Thank you for using RMC.  I hope you will find it to be a useful and easy
client for all your MUDding needs.

Please see the other help documents for information on using the client as
well as licensing information.

What

RMC is a MUD client that runs in X.  It makes use of the wonderful GIMP
Toolkit, GTK+.  It is written in C and is GPL'd, so feel free to look at and
modify the source.  The client supports multiple, simultaneous connections,
ANSI color, easy editing, aliases, triggers, and many other features.

Who

I am Ron Martin.  I currently attend Central Michigan University.  I have been
programming for a while, but haven't really produced anything noteworthy.  I
am currently an implementor and head coder for a MUD called Porta Unica
(kellogg.dyndns.org:4000).

Why

I wanted my own MUD client, and I wanted to learn about socket programmin, so
I made this application.  No real reason.  There is nothing wrong with the
other clients out there; it just feels cool to use your own software.

When

I started this project in late February of 2000.

How

I started using GLADE, but didn't really care for it.  It is an excellent
program, but it didn't quite fit my programming style, so I decided to finish
it out by hand.  I used various text editors (gedit, kedit, pico, others) to
type in all the code.  I use a make file to compile it.  I don't really like
IDE's, so everything is done from the command line, pretty much.  I use gdb to
debug the code, gcc to compile it, and text editors to edit it.
