This is the precompiled version of LambdaMOO for Linux, version 1.8.0p5-1
(note: the last number represents the number of this precompiled package).
It was put together (kind of in a hurry) by Matthew Campbell
(matthewc@solgate.com).  Before doing anything else, I should include the
copyright notice from the original server:

This server has been compiled to run on an ELF-based Linux system.  It has
support for TCP/IP networking and outbound network connections, and the
default port is 8888.  Unforked checkpoints are turned on (MOO operation
will temporarily stop during checkpoints), and the pattern cache and I/O
buffers are reduced to save memory and load on the system.  These settings
may change later if there is demand for such change.

I have included both versions of the restart script ('restart' is for the
C shell; 'restart.sh' is for the Bourne shell).  I modified both of them
to use gzip for compression of old databases.

To start the MOO, type: "restart" (or "restart.sh" if necessary), followed by
the base name for the MOO databases and log, and optionally a port number
for incoming connections (the default in this package is 8888).  Also remember
that unless you want to write a MOO core from scratch, you will need to get
one.  You can get the latest LambdaCore database from:

ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/MOO/LambdaCore-latest.db.Z

I think that's about it.  If you have questions, comments, suggestions,
problems, etc., please email me.

Enjoy,
