Welcome to the TINTIN 3 - The Tickin Kickin Dikumud client
      ----------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------what is TINTIN---------------------------
TINTIN is a client program specialized to help playing dikumud. This is the
third version, and lots of new features has been coded. Read about that in
the doc. 

--------------------------------TINTIN and the past------------------------
People used to TINTIN v2.0 shouldn't have  too many trouble with this version. 
But do notice anyway, that there has been a bunch of syntax changes: 
THE V2.0 COMMANDFILES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS V3.0!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-------------------------------TINTIN and the future-----------------------
This was the last time I'll release a totally rewritten TINTIN code.
Although  new versions of TINTIN might occure, they'll be of the format ver.
3.x, and will only be released if new bugs are found and/or portability 
problems with this version can be fixed. People are invited to release clones 
of TINTIN if they feel they've added something neat. If you release an 
extended version of TINTIN, THEN MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME IN THE
TITLE-TEXT! This way I hope we can avoid nasty parallel-versions. I might
code a tintin with a X-windows interface tho.

-------------------------------TINTIN and bugs------------------------------
Well I might have left a bug or two around, but nothing fatal I hope. Should
you find any bugs(and debug'em too *HURRAY*) then please lemmie know..

-----------------------------TINTIN and portability------------------------

implementations:
