Hi neozeed !
BTW seems that very first Multi-User-Dungeon (MUD1) source code has been released last april:
http://www.stanford.edu/group/htgg/cgi-bin/drupal/?q=node/1191

Direct link here:
http://purl.stanford.edu/wh632tj5702

According to article, it’s in BCPL and should run under a DEC-10 emulator. Looks genuine!

Cheers,

Anyways, i dont know much coding but have tried several times to compile a mud…never succesfully being able to run aber…. all ive been able to run is a circlemud and a dyrt mud… Muds are fun… if you want to try a real classic try my mud telnet phoenix-mud.com port 6716

I should find a real manual/guide or something.

I usually find this ice yeti, and keep on getting killed by it.

And you are right the best way to 'install' it is to run the install.sh & install2.sh to re-compile everything and setup the database.

I would imagine it'd run on other 4.3 BSD's, and probably 'modern' systems, I've included the crypt.c from some other system that satisfied building it under cygwin.. But it certainly felt more 'cool' playing on a VAX.

I was not too sure what to do once I was in there – In spite of my age(I was computing when MUDs were all over) – I've never used a MUD before. I also installed from you tape to my Uwisc system. I could not run the MUD unless I recompiled from source using the install scripts. The good news is it compiled just fine with a "generic" Uwisc install. Thanks for the fun!
