However I was having severe problems with Windows7 outside MUD. This last problem was solved to my great satisfaction by Giaia who explained to me, elsewhere in this forum, how I could increase the size of the font. This remained frustrating small and difficult to read in the top left hand corner of the screen. The repeat last command/ would not work, the games did not log and I could not increase the size of the window. It was when I upgraded to Windows7 that things started to go desperately wrong. This all worked perfectly for a number of years using the Windows96 platform. But Macros seemed to be frowned upon and I gave these up. Are these called ‘macros’? Being able to flee and quit just by tapping F9 saved me a couple of times when suddenly my stam dropped below 10. Then found that I could sort of program the function keys to do string commands. Also by modifying what I assumed was a Batch file I could get straight into theTR just by clicking an icon on my wall paper without any of that lengthy log on procedure.

Being able to repeat the last command simply by hitting the key speeded my trips across the Land no end. It logged my games (essential I later found when I was doing Bash reports), and I found several other useful tricks. I tried several and found Clio to be the one most suited to my needs. Foddy explained to me that I needed a thing called a client. Then when I took it up again about ten years ago I wanted to log my games in order to help in the making of a map. Only it was Computerserve then I seem to remember. When I first started playing MUD in about the mid-eighties there were no MUD clients and we all logged in from the MUD website. It is often assumed I have some basic knowledge which is succinctly untrue. I can operate one - I suppose but I have no idea how they work. Let me start by saying that I am no computer expert. Not so much a rant about clients as a comment on frustration when trying to use them and perhaps a plea for help. MUDII Forum Index » » MUD2 Clients » » Not so much a rant.
