 Quick question for a returning player
Is SWATH still purchasable? Looks like the web site hasn't been updated in a couple years. Just came back after a 4 year hiatus... and my version of ATTAC seems to not work very well.

Yes, and it is still in active development, look for a v2 in the spring. Buying a license is easy and quick

I have, however, noticed over the years that Stein has always been particularly, scrupulously careful to address any problems with it that had been drawn to his attention.

LOL Yes, you can furb yourself as long as the MF's are personal, not corp owned. I'm glad you find my site friendly, I hope you enjoy your time playing there. Please let me know if you have more questions.

 Re: Quick question for a returning player
sadly in the time it took me waiting for this SWATH registration to go through I *re* learned how to use TWPROXY, anyone recommend a simple telnet front to go along, using PuTTYtel atm...anyone suggest something better?
also based on how PuTTYtel looks can anyone confirm is ATTAC using PuTTYtel source code?

 Re: Quick question for a returning player
i am pretty sure ATTAC uses PUTTy source.
I use ZOC as my front end terminal. It has buttons i can customize and keyboard configurations you can change.

 Re: Quick question for a returning player
Thanks for the help, everyone has been really friendly here. I think I used to use ZOC so I will give it another go. If I remember right it's pretty lite.
So what kind of games are most popular right now? I think I'm kinda fond of the 800-1000 turn classic games right now.

If I remember right it's pretty lite./quote] I favor Telix SALT, very similar to C, excellent string manipulation, also supports DDE. Qmodem is also very good. Both of them are complied. ZOC is more or less O/S2 REXX, nothing wrong with ZOC , I just don't like it much for some reason. TWX I dislike, no rational excuse. lmstr wrote: So what kind of games are most popular right now?

And of course there's my site (shameless plug!)
