DESCRIPTION

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.4.3:
  • The 'play' local command can now stream MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, and AIF files.
  • Changed the "open text window" local command to accept unix-style paths (goodbye OS 9-style paths).
  • Fixed a potential crasher when closing a window.
  • Fixed bug in text windows. Horizontal scrolling now resets when text wrapping is turned off.

MR. GIZMO  It's funny this updated, I just started mudding again earlier this week : )

This is a great program, although it is no Rapscallion. If rapscallion worked on X liked it worked on Classic... I would never use another mud client again.

Anyways, It'd be nice if this client had some more features, like the automove/walk : ) And also, if the window sizes would be saved in the world file, like, where the world window selector doohickey shows up, and all the screen size be saved there. That would be nice.  (Version 1.3.6)

FATTY MCFATASS  This program has so many flaws that should simply not exist. For instance, if you press the space bar as your first typed character in the text entry box, it sends SOMETHING, i'm not sure what, to the world you're connected to. It shows up on the world I use as an invalid command. Once again, this is simply from pressing the spacebar as the very first key in the text edit box.

Additionally, it does not support background colours in text highlighting, for some reason.

The betas will nag you, even if you're registered, every time you open it, to update. We don't need to be harangued to update -- do you want to deter people from using your betas and finding bugs? These nag screens do that.

The regular expression support is bafflingly incorrect. The simplest regular expressions behave like some kind of Bizarro world regular expression, evaluating pieces of the wrong lines, weird results. Your guess is as good as mine. ANd these bugs have been in this program for ages.

Last of all, the interface is an atrocity. What is this? OS 9?

I'm a registered user simply because everything else out there is WORSE than this.

I wish the author would fix existing bugs before adding new features.  (Version 1.3.2)

ANONYMOUS  Savitar has gotten real stable during late beta. Runs just as rock-solid as 1.1.4 does now.  (Version 1.2.4)

ANONYMOUS  Well, I really enjoyed the previous version of Savitar (1.1.4) but this one always crashes when I try to start it up (type 3 error), so I guess there is something wrong with it.  (Version 1.2b3)
