Subject: MUCK and Mods and Updates thereof
Once upon a time, there was a TinyMUD.  Then Stephen White came along
and added actions, meta-links, player chown, and lots of other nice
stuff.  That became TinyMUCK.

Now, TinyMUCK has a database format that was not backward compatible
with that of TinyMUD, so Stephen came up with a compatibility mode,
which is supported to this day.

In any case, as Stephen White has told me that he is no longer working
on TinyMUCK code, but is hacking MOO, I have taken it upon myself to
codify and update TinyMUCK and coordinate changes.

Unfortunately, because I've been hacking on TinyMUCK 2.0, I did not
get a chance to either look at Caleman's mods, nor do much updating.
In any case, I will eventually incorporate Caleman's modifications or
modifications based on his work. (where I feel that work needs to be
done.)  I cannot guarantee that I will do things the way he (or anyone
else) did them, but I will do my best to fix bugs and provide updates
frequently.

I cannot provide an FTP site, so Caleman will have to do that, but
other than that, I AM supporting TinyMUCK.  (And will continue to do
so as long as there is support for it.)

The lack of announcements coming from me is not due to a lack of
interest in supporting other users, but because I have no desire to
announce vaporware.  Rest assured that when TinyMUCK 2.0 becomes
ready, it will be announced here together with the address of an FTP
site.  (And yes, I promise that it will be much better documented than
before.)

 out a new feature.)"
