Mud compiles with no errors
I would use gdb but gdb doesn't exactly work with msvc
I used Nick's smaug src compiled with msvc to get swr compiled
the error happens whenever someone logs on it just sends that to the console and sits there
/* yes I know about all gnu tools , linux,unix,cxx and all those other things */
This code does the same thing on a copy of the win32 swr from smaug.org
SMAUG 1.4a
Attempting to start SMAUG as a service ...
Unable to start service, assuming running console-mode application.
You can save time on the next invocation by specifying: SMAUG /run

Read_from_descriptor: Bad file descriptor
allright well so that anyone else haveing this problem can fix it
it seems this problem was from running a batch script from within debug instead of the exe file
that fixes it in one case but not in another
