    Some info about the new version:
    - a blank spaces under the command input box (on IE6, Firefox, Google Chrome)
    - can the user set the slug height. It’s very space consumption on my mud.

    I reduced the client height to 680 pixels but it will expand to fill the size you set in the html – so make sure that is set to 800 by 680 in the webpage too.

    In the next version I hope to have a way for people to adjust the size themselves. Right now you can probably alter the width in the html (the client should expand to fit) but the height for now is fixed at 680 otherwise you get blank spaces as you saw.

    I notice that there is some space between the lines in the output window. Would it be possible to change this to normal line height?

    This is a side effect of the new display method I am using. There is no obvious way to make the lines closer together (I have already set the separation at the minimum). If I do find a way to change it I will put it in as an option maybe in future.

    Personally I think it looks good with a bit more space and either way the memory use should be far lower this way than it was before.

    I have noticed that when using ANSI reset after bold colors, the boldness is turned off but the color is not reset.
