Cancan 2.8.0

Cancan project is an interactive utility similar to telnet, but providing some functionality that is especially useful for playing text based multi-user games such as MUDs.
However, its use is not limited to mudding. You can connect to normal telnet or any service that works with plain telnet.
Main features:
- basic telnet protocol handling
- a simple input line editor with history and completion
- key bindings that can be customized
- input line highlighting and text markers
- actions (regular expressions, simple, exact)
- aliases and a number of builtin commands
- variable and arithmetic substitutions
Installation:
Simply try make. If that does not work, read the file INSTALL for instructions. Then edit config.h, Makefile and redo make. Finally, make install will conclude system-wide installation.
If you want cancans definition files to go in a specific directory, set the environment variable CANCANDIR to that directory. It will be searched first for definition files at startup.
Bugs:
If you have troubles with cancan, see if you can find a solution or isolate the bugs so the maintainer has a fair chance of fixing them. In any case, try to be detailed with your bug reports--supply the OS type, compiler version and make output, all information to reproduce the bug. Suggestions for improvements are also very welcome.
