[Tutor] A Telnet problem

Rumor has it that W X Liu may have mentioned these words:

Winders is slang for Microsoft Windows. The codes it uses to signify the 
end of a line are '\r\n'. Linux, on the other hand, only uses '\n' to 
signify the end of a line. MacOS 8/9/X use '\r', if I'm not mistaken, but 
it's been a *long* time since I worked on that platform, and have never 
programmed on one. (unless it was running Linux. ;-) )

I may, or I may not. ;-) Seriously, you may want to see if there are any 
programming guides that come with your MUD (I've never played with a MUD, 
and highly doubt I ever will) and see if there are any special quirks or 
gotchas WRT programming clients for that platform.

Google would probably be a good friend, too. Ask him, he knows a heck of a 
lot more than me! ;-)
