Downloading Instructions

Source is available at the tinyfugue project page at sourceforge.

Files are available in .tar.gz and .zip formats.The .zip format contains CR LF line delimiters, intended for OS/2, butthey can be converted to LF by most UNIX versions of zip.The other formats contain LF line delimiters, intended for UNIX.

UNIX

TinyFugue will compile and run on almost any UNIX-like system with anANSI C compiler.

Get the TFsourcein .tar.gz format, and use these commands to unpack it:

1. gzip -dc tf-version.tar.gz | tar -xof -
2. cd tf-version
3. more README

The README file will tell you the rest.

MacOS

TF compiles right out of the box on MacOS X with developer tools installed.Just follow the instructions in unix/README.

Windows

This site offers TF for win32 only in source form.You may find it easier to downloadand install unofficial win32 TF binaries fromhttp://www.druware.com/tf/.

To compile TF from source, you will need Cygwin, available athttp://www.cygwin.com/.Once you have Cygwin installed,follow the instructions for compiling TF under UNIX.Cygwin is not for the novice user. If you have trouble with it, don't ask me.

OS/2

Support for OS/2 was contributed by Andreas Sahlbach (asa@stardiv.de).

A precompiled (but possibly non-current) copy for OS/2 is available atftp://www.muq.org/pub/tinyfugue/os2-runtime/.

To run a precompiled TF on OS/2, you will need:

• OS/2 3.0 with installed Internet Access Kit or OS/2 2.x with installed TCP/IP Basis Kit
• a compiled TinyFugue version
• enough space on your hard-disk
• an installed emx-runtime-package version 0.9a + emxfix03 or higher (if emxfix02 is used, processes started with '/quote !' will never exit).

To compile TF on OS/2, you will also need:

Web Mud Client

• TinyFuguesources
• more space on your harddisk-partition
• an installed emx-gcc-system

Get the TFsourcein .zip format, unzip it with 'unzip -a

Online Mud Client

',cd to the tf-version directory, and read the README file forfurther instructions.

BeOS

BeOS R4.x networking is not compatible with TF, but I have been told thatTF compiles right out of the box with the BeOS Networking Environment(BONE) architecture. Just follow the instructions in unix/README.

Other

At one time there were unofficial VMS and Amiga ports of TF,but I am not aware of any available copies today. There is no TF for DOS, so don't ask.

Try looking at the rec.games.mud FAQ part 2/3: MUD Clients and Serversfor other clients for other platforms.

I have no personal interest in any of those platforms, so I don't plan onporting to them. However, I am willing to work with someone who wants totry and is willing to follow my guidelines (this is how the OS/2 version wascreated, and why it is an official version which continues to grow).Basically, this means keeping the platform-specific code seperate andto a minimum, and not adding new features.

FIBS

If you're looking for the version with the FIBS patch, don't ask me. Itwas done without my cooperation; I have no idea where to find it,and do not support it in any way.

Discussion Forum

Use the 'Open Discussion' forum on the sourceforge project page.This is a replacement for the TinyFugue mailing list,which was shut down at the end of 2007-02.
