# utilities

The library directory %{TFLIBDIR} contains many useful utility files ending in ".tf". To use any one of them, simply /load or /require the file. For example, to enable ESC-TAB completion automatically, just "`/require completion.tf`" from your .tfrc file. Some of the more useful files:

alias.tf
  /alias, etc: create commands without '/'.
at.tf
  /at: execute commands at a specified time.
filexfer.tf
  /putfile, /getfile: transfer files to/from a mud.
kb-os2.tf
  Extra default key bindings for OS/2 keyboards.
kbbind.tf
  Default keybindings.
kbfunc.tf
  Macros used by kbbind.tf.
map.tf
  Mapping commands (like tintin).
psh.tf
  /psh: like /sh, but uses your favorite shell.
quoter.tf
  Various quoting macros.
rwho.tf
  Remote WHO from a mudwho server.
spc-page.tf
  Old-style SPACE key scrolling at --More-- prompt.
spedwalk.tf
  Single character movement (like tintin).
spell.tf
  Spelling checker.
tick.tf
  Diku tick counter (like tintin).
tintin.tf
  tintin-like commands.
tr.tf
  /tr: character translation
watch.tf
  /watch: Watch for a particular player.

There are also other files, not listed here.

For complete instructions on any of these utilities, see the help section for that topic if there is one, or read the comments at the top of each file. Sorry, I haven't gotten around to documenting them very well.

Note to unix users: many library files were renamed in version 3.5, but the old names still work (via soft links).
