Sirsloth's WizTerm
The Official Windows Client of MUD/BL
WizTerm is the Official MUD Client of MUD/British
Legends, the original text-based multi-user dungeon. Developed especially
for MUD/British Legends, WizTerm offers players many advantages over plain
telnet or generic MUD clients.
There are currently three "incarnations" of this program:
-
The old DOS version, WizTerm.EXE, is a 16-bit DOS executable that runs over the
serial port and a modem connection.
-
WizTerm32 is a modern, full-blown 32-bit Windows
Telnet game client with many bells and whistles (see below).

-
JWizTerm is a Java implementation of WizTerm which
can be run right out of most Java-capable browsers. It's currently in beta
testing and still catching up to the feature richness of WizTerm32.
I have declared all WizTerm versions as Open Source.
You are welcome to look at, download and even change the
source code.

Why use WizTerm?
While commerical clients do a decent job on a variety of MUDs, these client must
necessarily adapt themselves to the programming standardly used on hundreds of
MUDs instead of the specialized code in MUD/British Legends, the original MUD.
WizTerm is written expressly for MUD/British Legends and is supported by a close
tie between Game Admin and Sirsloth so that the features of WizTerm continue to
function well within the MUD/British Legends special environment.
