OK. I'll go read that. I should have a running version of the CircleMUD 3.0
distribution today or tomorrow. I'm compiling it on my PowerMac, so it's
not quite as easy to compile as on UNIX. I would probably be shot if I ran
it on my shell account, so I'm stuck with it on my computer until I see a
good reason to run it on a dedicated shell that will allow me to run a MUD.
The UNIX stuff really isn't that relevent to me since I do all my editing
on my Mac since it's quicker and more stable than a PPP connection and a
Telnet to my shell, but I'll keep that in mind for when I have it on UNIX.
Does that work for any command in the MUD? That's a cool thing that I'll
play around with. I'm actually planning on looking through the code today
after I get it compiled. Thanks for the offer to answer any questions. I'm
sure I'll have a few for you, since the rest of the list didn't seem to
appreciate my post. :)
btw, how is your MDU coming that you started last year?
