This is the 1.1 Cold Dark Core.  1.1 for me is alpha, so understand this.

------
Note: I am only releasing this because of the amount of requests I have
been getting for any tCD core.  The objects are not split apart, partially
due to the dumpsplit script not working correctly.

I would like to extend thanks to Jeff Kesselman (jeffpk@netcom.com) who
helped split up the textdump into seperate files.

------
Things which _are_ going to change (from the TODO list at tCD):

    * Network heirarchy, connection i/o
      $old_connection will be going away, and $login_daemon will
      take it's place.
    * Parsing system, $command_environment is only half of it.
 
Items you can expect to be in later cores:

    * Mail system
    * Help system
    * Editor
    * Ctext

------
Notes on using this core:

  * The login port is 1138
  * You should probably change new_user_class on $sys to $programmer
    after you login.
  * If you want the web daemon and finger daemon to startup, add their
    dbrefs to the parameter startup_objects on $sys.

------
Known Bugs:

* When you start it for the first time you will see an error similar to:

Fri Nov 11 20:35:04 1994: ERROR: class 7523 name coordinate_shortcuts unparseable: #[["n?orth", [0, 0]], ["s?outh", [180, 0]], ["e?ast", [90, 0]], ["w?est", [270, 0]], ["ne|northeast", [45, 0]], ["se|southeast", [135, 0]], ["nw|northwest", [225, 0]], ["sw|southwest", [315, 0]], ["up", [-1, 90]], ["d?own", [-1, -90]]]

  There is not much you can do about this, it is a bug in the driver.  The
  end result means that the parameter coordinate_shortcuts on $places is not
  read correctly, and it's value will be 0.

* Since I manually added command_environment it does not initialize on
  some objects.  What you should do to fix this is type:

;;var place; for obj in ($place.descendants()) obj.rehash_command_environment();

  If you do not, commands and verbs on the room will not work.
