About:
MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking Environment) is an N-way messaging server and networking API. It includes client-side networking APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, and Python. MUSCLE lets programs communicate over a network via streams of serialized Message objects. The included server program ("muscled") lets its clients message each other and store information in its server-side hierarchical database. The database supports flexible queries via hierarchical wildcarding, and "live" updates via a subscription mechanism.

[»] Confusing name
by Jonas Bofjall - Oct 16th 2002 08:05:45

The name of this project is rather confusing. MUSCLE is already the name of the de-facto standard smartcard environment for Linux. (Google for "muscle linux" and you'll see what I mean.)

[»] Rudimentary BeShare-compatible command line chat client available
by Jeremy Friesner - Mar 5th 2002 22:13:35

Just a note, if you are looking for a BeShare-compatible chat client to log in to your muscle server with from a Unix command line, you can find such a thing here. It's extremely rudimentary, but it's enough to do basic chat.

Clyde 1.01 is here. It fixes a nasty crashing bug and adds a few minor features.

New version of Clyde is v1.04. It's been tweaked to compile with MUSCLE v1.30+.

You need to add QueryFilter.o and ByteBuffer.o to the Makefile to get it to compile with latest MUSCLE's.
