DGD, archives from the pattern

The Pattern is no longer up, is that correct? Is there currently
a DGD development MUD? Were the boards from The Pattern archived
somewhere? I've gotten as much in the way of documentation for DGD
as I can find -- the sim-2.4.5 lib, melville, all the generic LPC
programming stuff I can find, and am looking for more.

The driver looks really sexy but we really need some DOCS -- I was glad
to see the start of a manpage for LPC ala DGD. Anyone know anything
about when we may see DGD 1.1, and whether the manpage will be
finished? ;)

Anyone knowing of freely available mudlibs specifically for DGD,
please point me in the right direction.

target audience for MudOS ... :-)

I got melville running under the latest (beta) version of dgd which is
1.0.99

Very soon as there's not much left after 1.0.99 (expect extra digits)

You never know, I've a long list of expected 1.1 release periods, and things
which were supposed to be in that release. It's looking a bit like Windows
95's release date, but anyhow it's definitely worth the wait.

Now if only we'd get the generic parse function, that would be a very very
good thing. It has been awaited for a very long time.
