Re: [MUD-Dev] Clients

A bit of a difficult one to answer. To paraphrase, which single
feature of a client is indispensable, apart from the basic 'I type it
in here, it comes out here'? I'd say the abaility to handle
out-of-band communication, which facilitates a whole heap of wonderful
things, like GUIs and the rest. For preference I'd use an OOB protocol
like MCP which can be mixed freely with for-the-eyes text. It's
simple, doesn't require any great processing power to utilise and is
expressive enough to get a lot of useful stuff done.
Everything else is eye-candy. ;)
