NAME

       tinymux - The TinyMUX mush server

DESCRIPTION

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

       This is the TinyMUX flavor of mud servers of the MUSH branch. It provides a number of robust 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.

       TinyMUX  doesn't  provide  the  superset  of  features available in other MUSH flavors, but those it does
       implement provide a stable and robust environment that performs as well as or better  than  that  of  its
       peers.

CREDITS

       TinyMUX  2.3 is derived from TinyMUX 1.6. It is maintained by Stephen Dennis (Brazil@BrazilMUX) and would
       not exist without the generous contributions of many individuals. Ideas for features, occasionally  code,
       documentation,  project  support,  bug  hunting,  came  from many places, including TinyMUSH, ChaoticMUX,
       RhostMUSH, and PennMUSH.

       We would like to thank the following people:

       - Barbarella@Pacifica for making it fun, for proving to me that MU'ing is a Good Thing (tm), for  pulling
              me  into hosting and server work. Without the choices she made, MUX 2.0 would never have happened.

       - David Passmore for his long time care and maintenance of TinyMUX.

       - Andrew Molitor, for the radix compression library, and some wonderful utilities.

       - Soruk from AuroraMUSH for  his  long  time  contributions  toward  making  and  keeping  TinyMUX  Linux
              compatible, as well as the sample config file found in CONFIGURATION.

       - T. Alexander Popiel for help with conceptual issues in general and specifically with the parser.

       - Steven Legowik (BEM@Erisian.net) for Makefile, cross-platform work, and modifications to Backup.

       -   Virginia   Legowik  (Audumla)  and  Lilith@Sandbox  for  committed  readme  and  helpfile  work.  For
              infrastructure support with web sites and mailing lists.  For making a team.

       - Ashen-Shugar and RhostMUSH for their bug reports and support.

       - Robby Griffyn and ChaoticMUX for bug reports.

       - Lew Newby (Dragon) for his stress-testing, cross-platform builds, and bug reports.

       - MacGuvyer @ Pacifica for a Unix patch for WoD-realms which led to porting all of MUX 2.0 back to  Unix.

       - Nick Gammon for the initial prototype of NT IO Completion ports.

       - Judge Dredd@Pacifica for specification of WOD_REALMS.

       - The large body of people who reported bugs or made useful suggestions along the way:
              Aranor,  Asia, Audumla, Barbarella@Pacifica, BEM, Carmilla@Pacifica, Chimera@Umbral Shards, Corum,
