heh, I just wrote a Mud to System pager.
It took me awhile to get it working right, with the
fact that you can't WRITE from a mud (no tty)
so i had to copy the paging info (write it?)
into a file (using echo mind ya) and then
system("cat filename > /dev/ttyxx");
heh... took me awhile, and i doubt this would work on Win32 systems,
although it could be setup to do so.
I've gotten the look i want down, and after i get a few final adjustments
made, I'll have it finished (i'm sleepy right now, and going to bed and all)
anyway, i guess what i'm asking is this, has anyone ever
created a Mud To System pager?
It took me about 2 hours to write it (1.5 hours being used up
trying to figure out HOW to get write to fake a TTY)
just wondering if anyone found an easier way to do it? and if so,
if they have a Windows Port??
anyway, this is me, signing off
