On the same note, is there a comprehensive list of muds that are out?
If so, could someone post it, or let me know where I could get it?
Direct e-mail is fine, too.
Thanx in advance.

       If someone could tell me where I could find a copy, I would most

Or, if someone knows of a client that doesn't require Multinet or Wollengong

I don't know what the problem or coflict is concerning women playing Muds.
There shouldn't be a question as to whether we can play or not. Though I 
have never played "male" characters as high a level as my "female" chars,
I admit there is a marked difference between the treatment of the two. 
Female newbies get 10x as much help as the male. I played on Judy for a long
time last year (Kayla, Sue, Amethyst (female) - Paris, Stormbringer (male))
I like mudding better than gaming because of the versitality. But I've
never had a problem with the DMs. I should think the guys out there would
want "real" females playing - at least you'd know it was a real chick you
were screwing around with - not some guy.

Subject: Wanted -- Space MUD site like CI$'s MegaWars III
Organization: Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA 90041 USA.
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1992 06:21:09 GMT

  I was wondering if anyone knows of the game called MegaWars III on 
Compu$erve.  I fell in love with that game 4 years ago, and spent over
$2,000 on connect charges playing it.  Now I want to use it again, but 
without paying so much.  Are there any MUDs out there that are at least 
similar?  
  For those that are not familiar with MW3, here's a general description.
It's a space war game in which the player controls 8 planets (can select
from hundreds in the galaxy), each of which has different production, living,
and other qualities.  The player competes with dozens of other players
who are all doing the same thing.  There is also ship-to-ship battle.  Each
player owns a mother ship which they use to travel among the planets.  There
are various weapons, and ships have different levels or sizes.  It's hard
enough to manage the politics, production, happiness, etc of each planet, but
once you add the other players that are attacking your planet and your ship,
it becomes QUITE interesting.  If this game is not available, then it is
an idea for you MUD makers to REALLY attract people to your site.  I can help
you on some of the details if you want.  Post to r.g.m or (preferably)
Email me at holmes@oxy.edu.  Thanks.

It's called _The Hacker's Dictionary_, second edition.  It's existed
as a textfile on the net for many years now, but the author (the name
Eric Raymond seems to stick in my head for some reason) got a recent
version published.

Ask at any normal bookstore, and they may be able to order a copy for
you.  Or check with an archie server to see if you can find it
on-line, but be warned that it's very long to print out.

The dictionary is very complete, containing even a fair share of
MUD-related terms.  I remember leafing through a copy at the bookstore
and noticing Garrett's (another long-time mudder) email address in the
credits in back (h'lo, Garrett).

This file is on ferkel.ucsb.edu  in pub/mud/Docs named macro.hlp.Z

To use a macro from inside a program, just state its name with a "." tacked
onto the beginning, as in

me @ .foo notify

To define a macro (the syntax isn't advertised anywhere):

say

def <macro-name> <macro-definition>

macro-name is one word, no spaces.  Everything after the space after macro-name
will be taken to be the macro-definition.

Macros cannot be renamed/redeffed, but can be killed. Only a wiz can kill
them.

They are stored in a binary tree which is dumped into the file muf/macros at
dump time, and which is rebalanced at db load time.

You didn't hear about the move to McGill?  Holo moved up to McGill
because collatz was going away for the summer.  It is currently on

Really, any of you guys expecting to actually MEET any of the females
from MUDs are sadly deluded. It will NEVER happen. And what's more --
after you don't meet them, there's no way you will actually form
a relationship with any of them (especially not three of them in a row)
and you will never stay in any relationship you don't form for over a year
and a half, and NEVER will you get engaged to any of them, after not
meeting them, not dating them, and not forming a relationship. Take it
from me, I wouldn't know.

The title says it all.

The mud has been down due to a playerfile crash.

If your player has been deleted, don't log in a new character
with your old name. That is a sure way to loose all your equipment.

mail dikumud@flipper.pvv.unit.no (dikumud@129.241.36.200) if you

For people who haven't played Flipper (Grimne) dikumud (shame you):
  This dikumud is a heavily modified/extended dikumud. 
  It has 50 playerlevels and a lot of extra skills. There is also
  a lot of new areas here. 
  
  There is normally about 40 players connected to this mud
