NAME

       pennmush - The PennMUSH mush server

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the pennmush mush server.  It was written for the Debian distribution
       because the original program does not have a manual page.

       This is the PennMUSH flavor of mud servers of the MUSH branch. It provides a number of flexible  features
       to  enable  players  to  extend  the  virtual world.  This is done by building new rooms and objects, and
       utilizing its internal programming language, MUSHcode.

       PennMUSH provides flexible compatibility with the MUSHcode features of many  of  the  other  common  MUSH
       flavors, as well as its own approach to them.

       The  original  TinyMUSH  1.0 code was written by Lawrence Foard, and was based upon James Aspnes' TinyMUD
       server. Since then, the code has been modified by the programmers  of  MicroMUSE  (then  MicroMUSH),  and
       Joseph  Traub  (Moonchilde  of  PernMUSH).   From  January  1992 to January 1995, Lydia Leong (Amberyl of
       PernMUSH / Polgara of Belgariad) maintained the code currently known as PennMUSH 1.50.  From January 1995
       on, Alan Schwartz (Paul of DuneMUSH / Javelin elsewhere) has been maintaining this  code,  along  with  a
       development team.

       Big  thanks  to  the  developers of TinyMUSH 2.0, 2.2 [2.2], 3.0 [3], Mux2, and Rhost [Rhost] servers, as
       well as to the players of Belgariad MUSH, DuneMUSH, and M*U*S*H, and everyone else using this server!
