Hello,
I have tried mush client and I do not like it at all. I have never been able to find any good documentation on it. Also, with VIP Mud you can tab between the entry and output window. Now once you have done this no matter where you have the cursor positioned, when new text comes across the screen the cursor stays where you are at. With mush you can control tab to the output but the cursor jumps around like a jumping bean. Another reason I dont like mush is the way it handles prompts. With mush the prompt is always read first instead of last like in VIP. VIP uses a modified version of the scripting language used in ZMud.

All this is going off the last version I looked at:
1) There is no regex trigger matching.
2) Rather than let you use a pre-existing language, you have to use their scripting language, which isn't nearly as powerful as lua/python or the others that mush lets you use. 3) There already exist free, open-source clients that do way more for free, with mush it's a matter of installing a plugin. Most of the people that mud with me use jaws, so it's not an issue until tonight when I'm trying to make Windoweyes work, but I really don't see the point in paying for a client when you can get way more with mush, tintin++ or something else out there. 

Thanks,

I convince everyone else to avoid vipmud, and she's seen sense and done so
as well.

No idea about that, but for mudding she may want to check out vipmud from
www.gmagames.com. Just to prevent reinventing the wheel, so to speak. I know 
it interfaces with window eyes, and I'm pretty sure it works in windows 7
though I'm still on xp, myself.

Hello all,
One of my friends wnts to mud with window eyes, so I went and found some

docs and wrote her a plugin to do it with. Someone tells me that on window
eyes 7.0 and xp it works fine, but with 7.2 and seven there is an issue.

I'm using VBs in the plugin, and just CreateObject("gwspeak.speak")
Does anyone have any  info? It just errors on the object creation.

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
