1. Purpose

sample screenshot Adds clientside MXP (Mud eXtension protocol) support for BatMUD, using the following software:
  • telnet (or any alternative, as long as it uses the recv() system call)
  • xterm with 256 colors support
Instructions:
$ make bat_mxp.so
$ LD_PRELOAD="`pwd`"/bat_mxp.so telnet bat.org
> log in
> mxp on
> mxp map off
> look

2. Supported features

Most of the MXP version 1.0 features, that can be implemented in xterm, are supported. This includes all of the metacommands (!ENTITY, !ATTLIST, !ELEMENT, !TAG), entities and formatting commands excluding paragraph controls. BatMUD unfortunately only supports a minimum set of them though.

It also has a framework that makes it relatively easy to implement MXP-supporting programs on one's own.

3. About TinyFugue

This program would work with TF, if TF didn't mess up xterm-256color escapes.
TF would need a patch to support them.
