@ We looked both at GURPS, Fuzion, d20 and others, and they are all that

@ Coast, White Wolf, and others.

@ totally compatible with the CM license.  The one that I looked at and used
@ as a foundation for my MUD is called Circe.

Thank you for sharing this research.  It's much appreciated by me but anyone
else who's interested in changing the rpg engine.

@ ObCircle: If anyone is interested in how we at Arcane Realms handled
@ level-less/class-less user rights and master command list and so forth and
@ so on, let us know, and perhaps Cheron can whip together some snippets.

Why not do that anyways?  Not only would you get credit for any ideas you
put up in the snippet but you might spark an idea for someone who's trying
to come up with something of their own.
