.SH NAME
mooproxy \- a buffering proxy for MOO connections
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mooproxy
.RI [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.B mooproxy
is a buffering proxy for MOOs (a class of text-based RPGs, descending from
MUDs). The MOO client connects to mooproxy, and mooproxy connects to the MOO
server.
.PP
Mooproxy keeps you connected to the MOO server if the client disconnects
(voluntarily, because of network problems, because the client crashes,
because of a power outage, etc).
.PP
Mooproxy also provides centralised logging, buffers text when the client
isn't connected, and provides context when the client does connect.
