Zeno,

It looks like you missed something. The original (Runglish) help files for JMC are a pain to read; Jaba was (and is) a brilliant programmer but not a native English speaker (to say the least).

Certainly, JMC has aliases and triggers (the latter are called #actions). In fact, it was developed to be fully compatible with tintin++ and that was one of the reasons I choosed JMC when switching from a Unix station to a Windows box. Further on, JMC was the very first client to implement some powerful features (e.g. active scripting).

Jaba retired several years ago and opened the source code for the client. However, there are other groups of developers that keep working on JMC. You may have a look at:

P.S. Just as a historical fact, Jaba was an active player in ArcticMUD in ~1996-2003. Back at that time, other clients were lacking many important features and JMC was originally written just as a powerful client for personal use. I remember at least 2 or 3 other ArcticMUD players who also implemented their own clients, but unlike JMC, those applications were never made public domain and remained unknown to the MUD community.
