The program is really in two distinct lumps. The first bit is the Windows stuff: Wintin 95 is a Microsoft Foundation Classes application written in MS Visual C++. I wrote that bit myself. The second bit is the Tintin++ stuff. Tintin++ has been around as a Unix mud client for a long time. It is published in source code form, and at one stage was ported to Windows NT as a console application. The Tintin++ bit of Wintin 95 is based largely on the Windows NT console port by L Kahn, and is based on Tintin++ version 1.5pl4. I have made a full acknowledgement to the many people who have worked on Tintin++ in the Wintin 95 'about' screen.
There is a really good manual available for Tintin++ which would be very helpful to people starting out with Wintin 95 as well. If you are new to Tintin++ I strongly advise you to get a copy. It is available here.
