kmc project is a mud client for KDE that aims to be powerful yet easy to use and comfortable to spend time in.

I started it several years ago as a project to learn Qt programming with, and added to it bit by bit, as it's the program I myself use to mud.

Finally, it has reached a point of maturity where I felt compelled to release it.

A mud client is a program used to connect and play a MUD. MUDs are a special internet text-only game that can be truly fascinating.

Here are some key features of "kmc":
Mud and character profiles to make connecting easier.
Autologin, reconnection.
Good integration with KDE (i.e. cut and paste, drag and drop, restoration)
Scripting, via an embedded Perl interpreter. User-defined commands, triggers, timers, etc.
Logging with and without color.
Input history with tab expansion.
Full ANSI support.
Extreme customization of appearance (change colors, font, wrapping, tab size).
Mud toolbar. Connect and login to the click of a button.
Split and full screen mode.
Numpad walking, via a Perl script.

Requirements:
KDE 3
Qt 3
Perl 5.4 or higher

What's New in This Release:
Added Maia's dm icons
Dealt with 'friend' warnings
Fixed perl dXSARGS problem
Change kmccore.pl copying to use KIO
Added ';' multiline, '#' repeat special chars and associated config.
