MUDSOCK 2.1 =========== o Fixes "Buffer Overflow" bug. NEW FOR MUDSOCK 2.0! ==================== o Multiple font/color attributes for your "watch for" strings (this is the main reason I created version 2.0). o Better browser interation when clicking on "hot links" in the Output box (you can select to launch a new browser window each time you click on a URL, or use the same browser). o You can use Mudsock as your Communicator 4.x Telnet application. o *NEW* -- DDE automation for third-party plug-ins! (see below) MUDSOCK DDE =========== MudSock now supports Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) for programmers who would like to write third-party software for use with MudSock. txtReceived is a special, non-visible object on the main form that acts as a container for the most recently received string. You can create a DDE link to this container so your application can receive and process text from MudSock's Output box. Here is an example in Visual Basic of how this is done: [object].LinkTopic = "MudSock2|frmMain" [object].LinkItem = "txtReceived" [object].LinkMode = 1 Where [object] is a text box or some other compatible VB object. The other DDE object in MudSock is "Text1." Creating a link to this object will allow other programs to send text to MudSock's Input box. DDE is supported in MudSock 1.2 and up.
