LPMud is a variant of MUD (Multi User Dungeon) - a text-based object-oriented
simulation system, mostly used to realize multi-user adventures in a
networked environment.
In LPMud, all objects are written in a special C dialect which is compiled
and interpreted at runtime, thus giving the greatest flexibility in the design
of the simulated game world while achieving a sufficiently high execution
speed.

LPMud was originally written by Lars Pensjö (with numerous bugfixes and
enhancements from people all over the world); Jörn 'Amylaar' Rennecke took
over the further development as Lars 'resigned' from development after
publishing version 3.1.2.
The 3.1.2-Gamedriver was ported to Amiga by Erik van Roode, the next ports
up to patchlevel 140 were done by Lars Düning in parallel to the development
by Amylaar.

This package contains all executables to run a LPMud with Amylaar's driver
on an Amiga. Included in the bin/ are:

  adr321  : the driver for cross compat mode with euids, with multiport
            support compiled in.
  acdr321 : as adr321, but compiled for compat mode without euids.
  PlayMud : a program to access the running mud.

The  driver has been compiled for Amiga-OS 2.0 into 68000 code.
It reserves 50K+25K memory at startup, uses the port number 8888, and
has all special features enabled. The cross-compat mode allows the emulation
of both native and compat mode, for die-hard-compat muds like TubMud
use the compat-mode driver.
For more details see the included config.h which was used for compilation.

The additional files needed for the mudlib can be found in lib/.
The files in the top directory give out some information about the driver
and its internals (in general and about the compiled binaries) - they are not
of vital need for a running mud.
The package does not include a complete mudlib - you have to get one on your
own (see README.Amiga).

For information about installation and usage see README.Amiga
and README.PlayMud .

The sources for the gamedriver (including the Amiga specific ones) are
available for anonymous ftp at least on:
  ftp.nightfall.org (134.2.170.99) : driver/, recent patches in amylaar/
  ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de              : pub/mud/lp/driver
in the archive 'driver3.2.1@<patchlevel>.tar.gz'.

NOTE: LPMud 3.2.1 is still under development - both source and binary
      archives do not necessarily contain the latest patchlevel of the
      driver!


System Requirements:
  2 MB Ram at least
  Amiga-OS 2.0
  Harddisk, or at least two floppies
  optionally a faster processor
  optionally AmiTCP-2.0 for true TCP/IP
