MUD++ simply implements a full telnet daemon and uses SPico for building.
No special client and still a nice editor.  I don't know what kind of
security risk that is, probly more to worry about codewise looking for
buffer problems and loopholes.  If you can do a C++ -> C port it might be
worth it but a pain.
