TinyTalk 1.0:
-------------

  Version 1.0 of TinyTalk, the client program I've written, is now
available.  It appears to work reliably on all BSD 4.2- and
4.3-derived systems which I've tested it on (and which my beta testers
have used).  Barring major problems being discovered, a new version
will not be released for some time.

  To get a copy of TinyTalk, anonymous FTP to derby.cs.wisc.edu (IP
address 128.105.2.162), and look in the ~ftp/pub directory.  TinyTalk
is distributed as a shar archive, in either compressed or uncompressed
form--take your pick.

  A summary of TinyTalk's features, extracted from the documentation,
follows.

  If you have bugs to report, questions, comments, or suggestions for
the next version, let me know at "rang@cs.wisc.edu".

TinyTalk is in the public domain.

--------------------

  TinyTalk is an interface to the TinyMUD system.  It replaces telnet,
and adds many new features.  New features include:

  * TinyTalk can wrap words at the end of a line.

  * TinyTalk can automatically log into your characters.

  * TinyTalk can record a TinyMUD session to a file.

  * TinyTalk keeps your typing and TinyMUD output from being
    intermingled.

  * TinyTalk allows input lines to be up to 512 characters long.
    This allows long descriptions to be entered.

  * TinyTalk supports simple macros.

  * TinyTalk supports "portals", special exits which connect between
    the various TinyMUD systems.
