-.TH POWWOW 6 "2018-Sep-11" "powwow 1.2.20"
-.SH NAME
-powwow \- telnet protocol client for MUD playing
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B powwow
-.RI "[ " host " " port " ] | [ " definition-file " ]"
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-.B powwow
-is a client program that implements the telnet protocol, adding some bells
-and whistles to the standard
-.BR telnet (1)
-communication utility, mainly intended for playing multi-user games
-such as
-.IR MUDs " (" "Multi User Dungeons" ")."
-.PP
-.B powwow
-is either invoked with
-.I host
-and
-.I port,
-and then does not save any definitions, or with a
-.I definition-file,
-which is supposed to contain various definitions as well as the name
-of the host and the port number. 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 HĂ„llberg <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 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

-Are you kidding?
