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 does not provide a superset of all the  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  2.6  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,
