    Greetings and salutations.  I would like to experiment with the
    DOSMOO stuff as well.  I d/l-ed the zip file and tried to kick it
    into gear and things got weird.  I don't have linux as of yet (try
    not to kick sand at the newbie scum) and would like to try my hand at
    starting up a MOO.  I am limited to using DOS/Windows stuff at work
    and home until I can get a bigger HD to put linux on (and that is a
    year or so in the offing).   Any suggestions to get this up and
    running would be highly appreciated.

    Yes, there is a DOS MOO available at:
    FTP://freak.org/pub/msdosmoo/msdosmoo.zip
    I haven't tested it, so I can't vouch for if it works or not, so if
    you try it  out let me know!
