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.

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.

What is being sent? Did you make space an alias? Please send a bug report.

How so? When using ANSI codes?

You are not required to reregister. The betas are menat to time out in 30 days, so that old copies of outdated Savitar betas will not clutter up the net when the final releases. The release notes clearly talk about this, and point out that if you are not comfortable with doing beta tests, you should not be using beta. (Savitar at this writing is not in beta).

Regular expression support was released less than a year ago. (Savitar is 7+ years old). Again, please file bug reports. I am very responsive to bug reports, as you may find out on Savitar's conference board (http://www.heynow.com/Savitar)

No, it's a PowerPlant application that's carbon compliant. It runs on Classic and Mac OS X.

Please file bug reports / feature requests if you wish to be effective. Savitar has been in bug maintance mode since 1.3.0 released. The chances of me stumbling on your "reports" here, on a review, are kinda slim.
Thank you
