If the definition-file does not -exist, the user is prompted for the host name and port number which -are saved in the new file. The definition file can be edited with any -text editor, and is updated whenever a definition (action, alias, -etc.) is changed. If the environment variable POWWOWDIR is defined, -.B powwow -will look there first for definition files (and create new ones -there). - -Lines that begin with `#' are assumed to be special commands to be -processed locally. Help is available with the -.I #help -command. There is also a more detailed manual somewhere. Notably, -semicolons separate commands on a single line. To send a literal -semicolon, prefix it with a backslash. - -.B powwow -also supports the MUME editing protocol for editing texts locally. The -name of the editor is taken from the environment variable POWWOWEDITOR -or EDITOR. -.BR emacs (1) -is used by default. For text viewing, POWWOWPAGER is searched, then -PAGER and -.BR more (1) -is used by default. - -If the first character of the editor is `&' (which is then skipped), -the editor is assumed to run in another window and -.I powwow -will run concurrently with the editor without waiting for it to -finish. - -When launched, the editor program will have its TITLE environment -variable set to the document title sent from the MUD. - -.SH AUTHOR -.PP -Massimiliano Ghilardi <max@Linuz.sns.it> and Gustav HÄllberg <gustav -at gmail dot com> are the people that added many new features to an -existing client, -.I Cancan -and transformed it into -.IR powwow . -Mattias EngdegÄrd (f91-men@nada.kth.se) was the original author of -Cancan but many other people have contributed at least as much, -including Finn Arne Gangstad (finnag@pvv.unit.no), David Gay -(dgay@di.epfl.ch), Gary Dezern (gdezern@satelnet.org) and Lai-Chang -Woo (vivriel@scs.com.sg). - -.I powwow -moved to hoopajoo.net in 2005, and is now maintained by Steve Slaven -<bpk@hoopajoo.net>, please send bug reports and patches to that -address. - -The -.I powwow -WWW page is: http://hoopajoo.net/projects/powwow.html - -.I powwow -was originally inspired by Peter Unold's -.I Tintin -client, but now only bears a very remote resemblance to the -original. It aims to be a simple but very interactive client, and -contains features that are interesting for ``immortal'' players, in -particular on MUME, though any mud player should benefit from -.I powwow -as well. -.SH FILES -.TP \w'$(POWWOWDIR)/*\ \ \ 'u -powwow -The binary. -.TP -$(POWWOWDIR)/* -Definition files for aliases, etc. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -.TP -.B TERM -Your terminal type. -.TP -.B POWWOWDIR -Where powwow will store and search for its files by default. -.TP -.BR POWWOWEDITOR " or " EDITOR -Name of editor to use. -.TP -.BR POWWOWPAGER " or " PAGER -Name of pager to use. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR telnet "(1), " more "(1), " emacs (1) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -Most diagnostics are self-explanatory. Some are even more -self-explanatory than others, namely those who crash the program. -There is a diagnostic report called `core' which is not currently in -human-readable form. The messages from -.I powwow -are generally prefixed with a `#' to separate them from output from -the remote host. -.SH BUGS -.PP -Are you kidding? |
