    Yes, I have written a MUD.  The major variations are security
    considerations, which don't really exist in the MUD environment, because
    there are no 'programmers' as such.  In a MUD, a programmer is, in
    reality, a Wizard.  A Wizard being someone capable of performing VR feats
    beyond the reach of mortals :^)

    As far as VR goes, it's much more realistic than the standard 'chat' MOO
    is, simply because everyone behaves 'in character', simply because the
    code only allows IC behaviour.  The emote command is specifically flagged
    to ensure that it doesn't disturb this.

    It's major features are combat role playing, VT-100/ANSI color, and a few
    other things like that.

    I'll notify the list when I open it up.

    Another quiet listener on the list who has done the same sort of thing is
    C.S Mo <randoma@vui.com>.

    I think Kipp has done the same sort of thing, but I think he started with
    LambdaCore, and then reduced it into a Semi-Minimal.db and then built up
    from there.  The ever verbose C. Regis Wilson has done likewise.

    Pavel obviously started with the Minimal.db in the pre-historic past :^)

    Ian.
