Tiny Fugue Multiwindow Hack

Some modern MUD clients support separating the text you see into multiple windows for ease of reading (see ALclientTutorial).

You can do the same thing in Tinyfugue on Linux with the following configuration added to your tfrc file.

If I'm missing some chatlines, let me know!

In order for this to work, you must mkfifo ~/.igortells and mkfifo ~/.igorchats, and open additional windows to cat those FIFOs BEFORE starting TF.

There's a reminder that will output, TF will appear hung until the FIFOs are open.

/echo ==================================================================
/echo To launch TF properly with this in use the FIFOs MUST BE OPEN
/echo In one window, "cat ~/.igortells"
/echo In another, "cat ~/.igorchats"
/echo Only then will Tinyfugue start, otherwise it'll look hung.
