Subject: mud.el documentation

Since my site's DNS is screwy, I've not been able to
use mud.el as a client to anywhere outside of the local
net.

So, even though I've been MOOing long enough to feel
comfortable starting my own MOOs for various purposes,
and even though I use gnu emacs daily, I'm still a
newbie to mud.el ...

Information about these `variants' of mud.el, and
what they get you, would be greatly appreciated.

Any introductory information anyone's produced re:
mud.el would also be appreciated.

And, to save yduJ an email, yeah, I'm getting what's
already on LambdaMOO righ after I hit the 'send'
button. :)

Hm.  yduJ wrote a bunch of elisp to give mud.el the following
capability: If you can get to the outside world from M-x shell, you
can then use M-x mud-mode (or something) to tell mud.el to take over.
This works okay.  I thought this was in the version on parcftp;
I was wrong.  But that's America.

I worked on a variant for a while under various names (the variant,
not me). At the time I was trying to keep track of who had a copy, and
requested that people not give out extra copies; now I don't care any
more, but I no longer have a copy.  Perhaps someone should make a copy
available.  Um, I can't say offhand "what it gets you", because I just
don't remember.

Puff has written some documentation for my variant (something I never
did), which I imagine is useful if you have a copy of it.

I have just intalled pub/MOO/contrib/mud.el.yduJ on parcftp.  It dates
from May 1991 and may have suffered bitrot; I haven't tried to keep it
up to date.  I use one of the nameless JoeFeedback versions instead, and
no longer have the trouble where I had to telnet out to a gateway
machine before I could get to the mud, so I haven't been motivated to
keep my old hack running.  Feel free to take it over; it's a horrible
kluge, but it did indeed "work okay" back when I hacked it.
