### 1. Introduction

Kmud is a free graphical mud client for Linux and Unix platforms running KDE. It is an useful and easy to use program for all people who want a nice graphical interface instead of a simple telnet for playing muds. The goal is to be the best mud client for Linux/Unix. Kmud is published under the GNU General Public License.
