I've looked through some of the source code and it seems well written. Bear in mind that the latest version was written in 2003, and 12 years is a long time for software. I was half tempted to fork a new version of it, since it has a lot of MUD-specific features that you won't find off the shelf in a generic client. My current client of choice for the last few years is Mudlet. It's well designed and modern (usually you have to pick one or the other when it comes to clients). Most importantly for you, it's cross platform. That means it will run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I've never run it on Mac, but it should be fairly simple - just follow the instructions at http://www.mudlet.org/download/ It can do all of the things you want. You can repeat commands by hitting enter, you can log your sessions, and you can even (with a little bit of work) have it log you in automatically. It can do anything that any other client can do if someone writes a script for it. It even has a generic map feature, but that requires some work to get it working in a specific MUD. The logging feature is not on by default. You can turn it on every time you start a session by clicking an icon at the bottom right of your screen. But it's much more convenient to have it auto-start. That will require creating a script, but it's a fairly simple one: 1. Click the 'Scripts' icon at the top (a white icon of a notepad and pencil). 2. click 'Add Item'. 3. In 'Script Name' type or copy: onConnect 4. In 'Add User Defined Event Hander' type or copy: sysConnectionEvent (exactly like that - capitalization matters). Then click the + button next to it and the above will move into the box above. 5. In the main script area delete whatever is there and type or copy: function onConnect() startLogging(true) end 6. Click 'Save item'. 7. Double click on the 'onConnect' script in the list until it has a green tick next to it. That's it. Mudlet will now start a log every time you connect. It will display the location of the logfile every time it does so, so that you know where to find it.
