Savitar identifies itself as "ANSI" ...., Shouldn't it be more specific? Options

[Guest_Myrd_*]

For identification using the standard telnet client identification protocol, Savitar identifies itself as "ANSI". I think this should be changed to "Savitar" because ANSI isn't really what the client is.

"ANSI" is also the identification of the WindowsXP default telnet client, and for my Mud I would like to differentiate about different clients people use, so I can assist them better if they have some problems w/ how things are displayed etc.

Obviously, this is not convenient to do, if I can't tell if the person is using Savitar or WindowsXP telnet.

On a side note, Rapscallion simply ignores the identification protocol, while other clients like Mac OS X telnet and hydraMUD identify themselves correctly ("XTERM-COLOR", "hydraMUD").

Thanks.

This is a good point. The next release of Savitar will report "Savitar" as it's type.

But remember, Savitar does support ANSI. Simply enable the ANSI checkbox in the world settings. So, I'm not sure what you mean by "Savitar will display garbage".

Thanks.
