What is a Mud Client?

A MUD client is a piece of specialist software written specifically with connecting to MUDs in mind. The range of features varies from client to client, but most offer things like a separate typing window, text scroll-back, custom colours and fonts, movement and command short cuts, macros and so on. All these things are designed to make playing MUDs more convenient and pleasurable, but they are not required to play any text-based MUD. It will be a matter of personal taste which you prefer, so be sure to try out a few. The ones we have tried and liked here at New Moon are Tiny Fugue (for Unix), and Zmud (for Windows 95, Windows 3.1 and OS/2), but there are many many others.
