I have been running & coding smaug now for a couple of years using visual c++ & win 2000.
For a number of reasons, I would like to run the code from a windows application and not as a service from the command line. ie a true 'windows' version not a command line one.
Along these lines, I am trying to ultimately compile smaug using Borland C++ Builder to enable me to add forms/tables and the fill wimp environment with the least hassle. The output from the server I would redirect to a scrolling text box, but the mud could be launched as a thread whilst I continue with the admin code.
Anyone done anything like this? Or have any comments/ideas on how this could be achieved? The main issue I'm having is not compiling it, but getting the mud to launch as a thread from a button on a form....
