CMUD (Chiara's MUD Client) allows you to connect to and play hundreds of MUD Games on the Internet, and provides you many useful tools, such as aliases, actions, macros, keys, buttons, scripts, maps, databases, etc, to make your MUD player's life easier and more profitable.

CMUD is a second-generation MUD client created by the authors of zMUD (Zugg's MUD Client). CMUD is mostly compatible with zMUD, but has been redesigned for improved stability and expandibility. There is a section in this manual dedicated to previous zMUD users that describe the major differences between CMUD and zMUD.

CMUD is optimized for Windows XP and Windows Vista. CMUD is not supported on older versions of Windows. If you need a MUD client for an older version of Windows, try using zMUD instead.

CMUD is designed by MUD players for MUD players and is constantly being upgraded and improved. This manual is dynamic and is also being expanded and improved over time. If you are viewing this manual within CMUD, you should click the Get Updates button in the toolbar to download the latest updates to the help file from the web site.

Suggestions for improving CMUD are always welcome. Support is available to both licensed and trial users on the Support Forums at http://www.zuggsoft.com/forum and via email at support@zuggsoft.com. The latest version of CMUD can be found in the Download page at http://www.zuggsoft.com/cmud.

CMUD is designed for both the novice MUD player, as well as the advanced player. For novice players, the built-in list of all MUD games on the Internet makes it easy to get started. If you are a novice user, don't be intimidated by the large number of commands and features in CMUD. These features will not get in your way, but they will be waiting for you when you become more advanced.

For advanced users, CMUD can be completely customized and scripted. You can create "robot" programs that respond to conditions on the MUD and take action for you. CMUD scripting can even be used to interact with other programs on your computer. As a scriptable Telnet client, CMUD can be used to automatically monitor a network, control routers, and more. Given the flexibility and power of CMUD, there is little you cannot accomplish.
