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..
