Hi there.

I am new to the world of topmudsites, and could use some assistance

First of all, I am blind, and use software called a screenreader which reads what is
on the screen to me verbally. I have been mudding for 10+ years, and am now looking into creating my own little piece of computer generated paradice.

My question is this. I use windows, and I have heard from admins/gods on a couple different muds which I have played that it is basically impossible to
run a mud on a windows machine. It is rather difficult to get the accessibility software for Linux, and I would like to avoid Linux as much as possible.
Is there any possible way to run a mud in windows? Or does it even matter if I am using a commercial server? Are there any codes which might work ok on
windows?
I would appreciate any comments on my situation

Thanks a lot
Brawny
