> Consider, there are currently ten TinyMUDs.

You reckon? :-) I've got TWO running on my machine here (one 'live',
one for development purposes). I bet there are plenty of other tiny
sites around who are not connected to the Internet but have MUD running
for the locals (this one's limited to on-campus; currently 30-40 players
(I think, haven't counted recently)).

I can receive alt.mud; I have no opinion on whether it should be moved
into the rec.* hierarchy at the moment ('I'm alright, Jack'). However,
I consider the '600 users is a rotten base' argument specious.

of objects, newlines in descriptions. I'm about to add containers and a
*very* general compound command mechanism.)
