 I've decided to finally get off my duff and get around to making
available my TinyMUD/MUCK builder program; you can get it via anonymous
ftp from ftp.white.toronto.edu (currently 128.100.2.160) as
/pub/muds/builder/builder0.9.shar. Comments, improvements, and general
feedback are highly welcome; I am planning to do some more work on
builder Real Soon Now.

What is builder? Well, let's shamelessly quote from the documentation:

 Builder is a program designed to let you write up an area in an
off-MUD, conveniently editable file or file(s), and then transform it
into a series of MUD commands to create or describe the area. Builder
allows you to use multiple files with multi-line strings, comments,
variable defenitions, and other time-saving features. Builder's input
is in fact a dinky little language. By splitting up your area
definition into two or more files you can a) keep it more managable and
b) keep it MUD-to-MUD portable by isolating all the explicit object
numbers in one file.
