Subject: Lambda-MOO server question

In the documentation for the MOO server, it state that it would be simple
to write a networking module that would just 'pretend' to network. This
would allow single-user operation on the data-base without ocupying a port
or opening up for other people who could possible break in and interupt
work.
I was wondering if anyone out there had writen such a module and how I
could get hold of it. (I'd write it myself, but i havn't gotten around to
learing C)
Thanks for any help.

I actually did such a port about eight months ago.  It did not require
all that much work - all I did was add a startup parameter (in place of the
port the moo would use) that indicated that the system was to be "local".
    I forwarded the changed bsd_network.c file to the moo authors, but I
never heard anything back from them about it...  I guess I assumed that thye
already had such stuff and didn't need my additions...  Since then I have
moved away from creating my own moo, and I deleted the relevant
bsd_network.c file about three weeks ago...  Possibly someone over at the
Lambda moo (where I sent the code I wrote) has it somewhere?
    I could do it again, but I do not have a copy of the current server
code, nor do I have space to download the whole thing...  If you are
interested, e-mail the bsd_network.c file to me and I will have another shot
at it...  [I will be away for most of August, but I might have time before
then, and I'm sure that I could complete it after I got back...]
