After going through the compiling procedure as outlined and everything going off without a hitch, twice now.

This is what i see when i first connect to the mud.
Is there any thing that i can do to clean this up?

I connect with zmud 6.16.

The second thing is I had a look at the pic you supplied and instead of seeing what you posted in the picture i basically see stuff like this.

</rdesc>Exits: <Ex>west</Ex>.

Drop 'cherry pie' 'a cherry pie'>a cherry pie</Drop>
<Drop 'fountain' 'a fountain'>a fountain</Drop> (2)
<Drop 'cake' 'a chocolate cake'>a chocolate cake</Drop> (3)
<Drop 'dried rabbit meat' 'dried rabbit meat'>dried rabbit meat</Drop> (2)


No underlines or stuff i can click on.

Thank you.

What you are seeing is "raw" MXP code.

Earlier versions of zMUD didn't recognise the codes used by the SMAUG patch that switched the client into "permanent" secure mode.

There is a change on the forum for this, however I recommend either:

* Using the latest zMUD, which should work fine; or

* Using my own client program, MUSHclient, which was used to take the screenshots.

Thank You Nick

I downloaded zmud 6.26 last night and ran it.

Zmud was a bit buggy when i loaded one of main chars on a public mud, but i figured with all the scripts and aliases on that char, i would be able to check it's performance.

I later connected to the smaug and everything was the way it was supposed to be.

I ran into 2 minor problems with cygwin though

one is with tcsh.

When i type tcsh startup &

it says
[1] 229671

prompt
$ limit: Command not found.


the other is with grep

When i type grep '"Thoric' *.c -n
I get the information without the (numbers)
The error message is
grep: -n: No such file or directory

I cannot for the life of me imagine what file cygwin is missing. I spent hours and hours and hours downloading that thing at 3k/s

Anyway if you dont know about these errors off hand its ok, although im not sure how to get around not knowing the number of the line for grep, that seems awful useful to me:>.

Sounds like you need to type:

grep -n '"Thoric' *.c

Quite often these commands need the options before the file names etc., however I'm sure that it worked that way when I tried it, because I copied and pasted my commands into the web page.

That works, downloaded that ultraedit program as well.

I am sort of hoping I wont have to bother you for a long time now:>
