Is there somewhere one can obtain a copy of this old ColdMUD manual?  =
I'd be happy to continue work on integrating the two into a full fledged =
ColdC Manual.

  Personally I would like to see the manual evolve to a proper manual.  =
Oen of the=20
  good things about Coldmud was that it had a real printed manual and =
I'd like to=20
  see ColdX get back to at least that level for written documentation.  =
Much of
  the old Coldmud manual can, and IM oshould, be canibalized to make a =
enw upt to=20
  date manual.

  For function reference my folder full of html pages is adaquate but =
not as a=20
  real mana`ual I can, for instance, hand to my junior prgormamer and =
say "here,=20
  you can fidn your anseres in this."

  My take is that a refernce format will continue to be only a refernce =
format and=20
  thsi it is muche asier to extract refernce from full docs than to go =
vice versa.

  Thought to meditate on:

  No two objects in nature are equal, any two apples are in fact quite =
different=20
  from any other two apples in the world.

  Thus can Math really be said to be True in an absolute concrete sense, =

  or is it merely an internally consistent abstraction?
